Time Limits for the Saturday Trail Runs: 50K - 9 hour time limit; 25K - 5 hour time limit; 10K - 3 hour time limit. There will be a 7AM early start for the 50K.

The Post Oak Lodge 50K, 25K, 10K Trail Challenge is not a walk in the park, these are trails in the woods and it is not for the faint at heart. This is the TRC Post Oak Lodge Challenge. The trails are a combination of less than a mile of existing gravel roads, old farm roads, a couple of chat trails, and miles and miles of single track trail winding through meadows and deep woods. As hard as we have tried there is no avoiding the hills of Osage County. It is a beautiful course with a little bit of everything. There are rocky areas, creek crossings, and a good chance of mud on the trail, but for the most part it is the hills that will give you the best workout. For this reason we have raised the difficulty rating to a seven (out of ten). If you plan to run this one fast then you need to train for hills, lots of hills.

The 10K route will be one continuous loop around the Post Oak Lodge and Oklahoma Centennial Botanical Garden properties.
The 25K route will be one continuous loop around the Post Oak Lodge and Oklahoma Centennial Botanical Garden properties.
The 50K route will be on continuous loop around the Post Oak Lodge and Oklahoma Centennial Botanical Garden properties.

Time Limits for the Sunday TROAD Races:
Marathon - 7 hour time limit; Half Marathon - 4 hour time limit; Quarter Marathon- 2 hour time limit. There will be a 7AM early start for the Marathon.
The TRC Post Oak Lodge Troad Marathon, Half Marathon, and Quarter Marathon will be ran on half road and half trail surfaces. The road sections will be either gravel or paved road. The trail section will be single track trails for the most part. There will be plenty of hills for everyone to enjoy, and you will all finish by running up the world famous "HILL FROM HELL". Welcome to the TRC Post Oak Lodge Challenge!
The Quarter Marathon will be a loop on part single track trails and part roads. It will be as close to half trail and half road as we can get it. This is a very scenic run through the wooded Post Oak Lodge property and the Oklahoma Centennial Botanical Garden. You will finish the run by climbing the "HILL FROM HELL". Welcome to the TRC Post Oak Lodge Challenge! !
The Half Marathon will be approximately 6 miles on single track trails and 7.1 miles on either paved or gravel roads. These roads and trails run through the Post Oak Lodge property and the Oklahoma Centennial Botanical Garden. You will finish the run by climbing the "HILL FROM HELL". Welcome to the TRC Post Oak Lodge Challenge! !
The Full Marathon will be run on the same route as the Half Marathon. You will run the second loop in reverse and you will finish by running up the famous "HILL FROM HELL".

The 10K will be one loop, the 25K will be one continuous loop. The 50K will run the 25K route and then run it again the opposite direction. The Marathon, Half Marathon, and Quarter Marathon will be run on about half single track trails and at least half paved and gravel roads. All races will start and finish in front of the Post Oak Lodge.

Aid stations with food and drinks will be located approximately 2.6 miles for the trail and road races.

The aid stations will have all of these at every TRC Post Oak Lodge Challenge Aid Station on Saturday and Sunday.
