Countdown to Blastoff


Out-Of-This-World Course

This course starts and finishes in front of the Kansas State Capitol Building (permit pending) and will travel through the downtown streets of Topeka before launching into Space and finishing on a newly discovered planet called New Kansas.

This course involves multiple legs of travel including a rocketship from the Hyvee lot at 29th and Wannamaker Rd. You will need to move continuously throughout the process of boarding and during the 8-year journey by way of a personal treadmill (BYO). 

Training is required and involves a three-month intensive program with NASA that must be completed before race day. The cost is $2 million. You must have your portable treadmil with you during the training process.

The finish line experience involves colonizing the newsly discovered planet, New Kansas, with special activations by Galaxy Landscaping, Stardust steel, and Cane's Chicken.
