The
inaugural Kansas Ultrarunners' Society Heartland 100 is now over. The course is a 50-mile out and back with
approximately 6,200 feet of climb and descent through the Flint Hills of Kansas. 32 were registered and 27 toed the starting
line October 14 at 6:00am, with 22 finishers within the 30-hour limit, a 73%
finish rate. Saturday through Sunday
remained cloudy and cool, with some fog Saturday night.
Charles
Stodter took the overall male title with this being his first 100-mile attempt
and only second ultra. When asked
Friday night what he was estimating as a finishing time, he replied 19 hours.
Not too bad! Monica Scholz, no stranger
to 100-milers this year, took the overall women's' title in just over 23
hours. This was her 15th hundred this
year. We also had the pleasure of
Hans-Dieter Weisshaar running this 19th hundred with us.
While the
race was not perfect we will make the improvements and we will be back next
year, tentatively the 13th of October.
