About the Kisatchie Crusher- Gravel, Run, Fondo & MTB

The run portion of this multi-sport weekend follows paved roads through the park, with lake views along the way. It shares the weekend with gravel cycling, mountain biking, and a road fondo, all centered at Caney Lakes in Kisatchie Forest. The surrounding terrain is piney woods, and the area carries real elevation for those tackling the longer cycling routes.

The day-use area serves as the hub, with shade, an amphitheater, picnic tables, restrooms, and a sandy beach with lake swimming nearby. Showers are on site, which matters given the dusty conditions on the dirt and gravel routes. A post-race meal is included with registration, and the proceeds support local trail maintenance and expansion.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Sep 16, 2026.

Common Questions About the Kisatchie Crusher- Gravel, Run, Fondo & MTB

Will I finish last at the Kisatchie Crusher- Gravel, Run, Fondo & MTB?

Almost certainly not. Half the 66 Miles field finished slower than 4:24:12, and the last recorded finisher came in around 5:19:33, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Kisatchie Crusher- Gravel, Run, Fondo & MTB a good first 66 Miles?

It is a small race (28 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 66 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Kisatchie Crusher- Gravel, Run, Fondo & MTB?

The 66 Miles winner ran 3:12:28 while the median finisher took 4:24:12. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
