24 hours on the 2.022 mile loop, starting at 8am on Saturday. Every full loop you finish before the cutoff counts. The 48, 24, 12 and 6 hour races are state record eligible.
A certified 2.022 mile loop on soft chat at the old Safari Golf Course, run counter clockwise, with minimal elevation change. The loop is USATF certified. Your GPS will read about 2.08 miles a lap and the official distance is 2.022, so bear that in mind when you work out a record goal.
Ollie's Ultra is a timed race on a 2.022 mile certified loop at Santa Fe Park in Chanute, in southeast Kansas, run on the soft chat trail of the old Safari Golf Course. You pick how long you are out there, from three hours to forty eight, and every full loop you finish before your cutoff counts. The aid station sits just past the start and finish, so you come through it about every two miles, and there is room to pitch a tent beside it. It has been run every December since 2022, in memory of Oliver Ortiz.
The first Ollie's Ultra was run in 2022, in memory of its namesake, Oliver Ortiz. It has grown from 22 runners to 59, who came from seven states for the fourth running in December 2025. Money raised by the race and its sponsors goes to people in the Chanute community. For 2026 the race added a 48 hour and a 36 hour race starting on the Friday morning.

3 people have been out there with a camera or a microphone.
These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
