Free State Trail Run

The Free State Trail Run is an exciting running event held at the Delaware Biking and Hiking Trails in Meriden, KS. Participants can choose from various distances, including a 40-mile, marathon, half-marathon, and quarter-marathon, all set on a challenging single-track trail through a hardwood forest. The course features rocky terrain and occasional views of Lake Perry, with aid stations providing hydration and snacks.

Each registered participant receives a T-shirt, and finishers earn distance-specific awards. The event emphasizes safety with cut-off times and allows for pacers in the 40-mile race. A $5 state park fee applies for parking. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
