The Sticks - Norton, KS
The Sticks is a timed multi-duration running event organized by Ultraverse Supplements on a farmstead outside Norton, KS. The event offers these time-based options:
- 72 Hour
- 48 Hour
- 24 Hour
- 12 Hour
- 6 Hour
Participants run a repeat loop course that is primarily a 3 mile loop composed of mowed pasture and dirt road. There is an optional 4.3 mile dirt road loop available during two one-hour windows every six hours; runners may begin that loop anytime within the hour and do not need to finish within it. The course includes rolling hills and uneven mowed pasture surfaces.
The event is chip timed and features live tracking updated after each completed lap. One well-stocked aid station at the start/finish will be manned continuously for the duration of the events. An indoor shower is available on site. Free camping and porta-potties are provided at the start/finish area. Ultra-style food and an electrolyte/carb drink (Proxima C) will be offered; ramen, brunch, and dinner will be served.
Key participation rules include a 75-runner cap, no refunds, no bib transfers, a strict limit of one vehicle per runner, pacers allowed only for events longer than 24 hours, and age restrictions for running and alcohol. Only full laps count toward race mileage and runners must check in with race staff when leaving and returning to the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
