Prepare for an unforgettable challenge at the Psycho Wyco Run Toto Run, returning on February 21, 2026, in Kansas City, KS. This beloved event, held at Wyandotte County Lake Park, offers distances of 50K, 20M, and 10M, each consisting of a demanding 10.4-mile loop. Don't be fooled by Kansas's reputation for flat landscapes; this course delivers a constant barrage of rolling hills, rocky single-track, and root-bound bridle trails, with only about 22% of the terrain being flat. Each loop boasts approximately 1300-1600 feet of elevation gain, culminating with three significant climbs in the final two miles, ensuring a true test of grit and determination. Known for its "punishing terrain" and ability to "issue humility with every entry," the Psycho Wyco Run Toto Run has a reputation for launching ultra-running careers, including that of celebrated athlete Kaci Lickteig.

Beyond the challenging course, runners rave about the race's vibrant "party atmosphere" and exceptional support. The well-marked course features numerous aid stations staffed by experienced volunteers, offering ample hydration and fuel, including chili (regular and vegan) and craft beer at the finish. Participants can enjoy a unique experience with free downloadable professional photos, a high-quality zip hoodie, a Buff, and a spinning-tornado distance-specific finisher medal. Drop bags are conveniently accessible at the main aid station for 20M and 50K participants, ensuring runners have what they need to conquer the loops.

Typical race day conditions in late February see highs around 46F and lows near 26F, with a low chance of precipitation, though the course can range from dry and firm to muddy or even frozen. Whether you're tackling your first trail race or aiming for a new personal best on this iconic course, the Psycho Wyco Run Toto Run promises an engaging and rewarding experience through the scenic hardwood forests of Wyandotte County Lake Park.
