    The Neuf Memorial Run 300 E. 27th St. North Newton, KS Distance: 9K and 2 mile   The Neuf Memorial 9K and 2 Mile Run The Neuf Memorial Run is back in-person for 2022!* Join us for the fifth annual Neuf 9K and 2 Mile Memorial Run at 10 AM on Saturday, January 8, 2022 outside of Mojos Coffee Shop on the campus of Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas.  The 9K course runs through North Newton into Newton and then heads off road along the Sand Creek trail while the 2 mile course stays on pavement in North Newton and is conducive for runners of all abilities. All registered runners receive a timing bib from TimerGuys, a commemorative fifth annual stainless steel Run the Neuf pint glass, and post-race festivities which include coffee, hot chocolate, and continental breakfast items. Registration opens on November 9, 2021.  The Neuf early bird entry fee until December 9, 2021 is $45 for the 9K and $35 for the 2 mile.  The regular entry fee is $50/$40 until January 6, 2022. Online registration closes January 6, 2022 at 11:59 PM, but in-person registration is available on January 7 and 8 at packet pickup for $50/$40.  Race day registration and packet pick up closes 15 minutes before race and may not include the commemorative SWAG.  The entry fee does not include sales tax and processing fees. Unlike previous years, the pre and post race staging will take place in Memorial Hall on the campus of Bethel College.  This change will allow for greater social distancing for everyone participating. * We hope and expect to run the race in-person this year, but changing COVID conditions may force the race to become a virtual run.   And the Challenge is back... The Neuf 90K Challenge The Neuf 90K Challenge is back to encourage increased physical activity during the holiday season.  The Challenge is to run/walk 90K (or more) between December 9, 2021 and race day on January 8, 2021.  90K is 55.8 miles -- about 1.8 miles for each day of the challenge.  You can do it! Simply run or walk and then record your distance on RunSignUp which will track your progress and allow you to see the progress of the other challenge participants as well.   Tag your photos with#90kneufchallenge as you make your way through the challenge. The Neuf 90K Challenge includes entry into the 9K or 2 mile race or a virtual run for those who want to participate virtually along with all the accompanying SWAG (see above).  In addition, 90K Challenge participants receive an Ogio running jacket (pictured below).  Registration opens on November 9, 2021 with an entry fee of $90 which increases to $100 at the start of the challenge on December 9, 2021.  The entry fee does not include sales tax and processing fees.   Race and Challenge Awards For the 9K and 2 mile run, the top 3 male and female finishers receive awards along with age group winners. In addition to the speed awards, awards will be given for creative ways to “spread the love.” We will award 9 Neuf Memorial Run prizes based on the in-person race or photos submitted to Facebook by race day: Best costume Best beard (real or otherwise) Best kilt Best display of Neuf branding Bravest running outfit Best "spread the love" message Best family/group themed costume Most creative place to run Most creative time to run Like last year, we promise to be very biased in our judging, and winners will receive cool prizes and lots of accolades on social media! The Neuf has been developed by friends and family of Russ Neufeld to honor his memory.  All proceeds beyond race and challenge expenses benefit the Russ Neufeld Memorial Scholarship at Hesston College and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

    Strataca Mine Run 2022 3650 east G, Hutchinson , KS Distance: 5K Strataca is Happy to announce the opening of tickets sales to the 2022 Mine Run 5K to be held on March 12th. This is an adventure run which takes place 100% underground at Strataca The Kansas Underground Salt Museum. It is a benefit for the museum. You will need to wear a bicycle helmit and provide lighting as it is very dark in the mine. The terrain id rough with areas of loose sand like conditions, a challenge for sure. The price now is the lowest it will be. Remember we run in heats so there are 4 starting times per hour for 30 people per heat. It is best for your group to resister at one time to ensure you can all run at the same time. Take care and see you at the run.
