Ollie's Ultra

Ollie's Ultra

Ollie's Ultra is an endurance running event held at Santa Fe Park in Chanute, Kansas, on December 4-5, 2026. The course is USATF certified and follows a soft chat trail at the old Safari Golf Course. Runners complete a certified 2.022 mile loop; GPS devices may read about 2.08 miles per loop. Only full loops are counted and loops completed after the event cutoffs will not count. In the event of a tie, the time of the last completed full loop is used as the tiebreaker.

The event offers races in multiple timed durations:

• 48 hour event
• 36 hour event
• 24 hour events
• 12 hour event
• 6 hour events
• 3 hour event

A fully manned base camp aid station is provided just past the start/finish area with snacks, hot food options, water, and Tailwind. Participants are encouraged to carry their own bottle or hydration pack. There is space for tent setups near the aid area and RV campsites nearby. Registration includes a t-shirt and a finisher award; hoodies are available for purchase. Deferrals are valid for one year.

Race rules note that participants must carry their own nutrition and may not receive pacing support outside the base station. Official timing is provided. Runners must follow the counter clockwise course, use a headlamp or light for overnight running when required, and no strollers, dogs, or bikes are allowed on course. Pacers are permitted after the 12 hour mark with one pacer on course per entrant at a time; pacer bibs cost $5. Volunteer shifts earn race credit and every eight hour shift receives 50% off next year’s entry. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
