The K's of Convenience is an urban ultra running event hosted by Quad Cities Trail & Ultra Runners in Davenport, IA. Participants can choose between a 50K or 25K distance, navigating an ever-changing course primarily on open roads and bike paths. This grassroots event emphasizes safety, as runners are responsible for their own navigation and must make purchases at designated aid stations, providing receipts as proof. The event features minimal support, with no course markings or traffic control, and encourages a low-key atmosphere. Runners receive custom swag, aid funds for on-course purchases, and a unique handmade award for 50K finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
