The KANSAS ULTRARUNNERS' SOCIETY is an RRCA affiliated, non-profit ultrarunning organization. The sole mission of our society is to organize, sponsor, staff and support ultrarunning events/competition in Kansas and the surrounding region. Our vision is to create an atmosphere that fosters not only the enlightenment of the novice ultrarunner, but nurtures the needs of the veteran ultrarunner as well.
