KROP – Kaizen Rite of Passage – Tahlequah, OK 2026

DESCRIPTION KROP: Kaizen Rite of Passage – Year 2: DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK! Guess who’s back!? KROP returns to Tahlequah, Oklahoma at the rugged and scenic Welling Ridge Trails for its second year! Runners can choose from 4, 8, 16 (25k), 32 (50k) miles, or the brand-new 40 mile (65k) distance . All races follow the same 4-mile loop, bringing you back through the start/finish area every lap—where the energy, food, and support never stop. Why it's called a rite of passage: so you've done a 5k? Wanna go further but a 10k is too much? We've got a 4 miler for you. So you've done a 10k but a half marathon is too much? Ok, we've got an 8 miler for you. Need something to bridge the gap from half marathon but not quite marathon distance? We got you, try out our 25k. Have you already conquered the marathon and want to take your first step into the ultra world? We've got a 50k. And for those of you who have done a 50k and want to start working your way towards a 50 miler or maybe even a 100k...w
