Cactus Roulette is a duration trail race hosted by the Lawrence Trail Hawks with 4 time options - 24 hours, 12 hour pm (Owl), 12 hour am (Lark), and 6 hours. There are three different loops ranging from 2.6 to 3.8 miles. Prior to each loop, runners will spin a roulette wheel to determine which loop they run next.
