Honey Badger

Founded in 2014, Honey Badger covers roughly 92.9 miles on asphalt county roads in Kingman County, Kansas — about 7 miles threading Cheney State Park and the remainder on low-traffic rural roads with 1,332 feet of gain. The resistance is climate: July races bring 85-degree heat with humidity at 80-90%. Runners must supply their own crew, vehicle, 12 gallons of water, and 30 pounds of ice; three fixed water stops service the first half and a roving vehicle the back half. The 36-hour cutoff includes a mandatory split near mile 53; the field is capped at 50.
