Carry Your Cross - World's Toughest 10K
Carry Your Cross is a trail event at Kanopolis Lake State Park that includes a 10K race in which participants carry a 50+ lb cross over rugged terrain. The event also offers separate trail races and family options.
Distances:
- Carry Your Cross: 10K with a 50+ lb cross
- 10K Trail
- 5K Trail
The event includes awards for first through third place, prizes and Dominion swag. Post-race activities listed by the organizer include music, games, awards, and a free-will-donation BBQ and fellowship for participants and spectators. Spectator views are described as excellent.
Field size is limited to 100 race slots. Registration for future editions opens December 1, 2026, and the next Carry Your Cross is scheduled for March 20, 2027. The organizer states the races run rain or shine and that Kansas wind is common. The Carry Your Cross heat begins first, followed by the 5K and 10K trail races. The event is open to all genders, and children aged 8 and up may participate in the 5K or 10K alongside a Cross Carrier.
Course records by time are posted for each race: Carry Your Cross 1:10:28; 10K Trail 54:35; 5K Trail 24:20. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
