Lace up your running shoes and get ready for a true Mid-Missouri running experience! Explore some of the best stretches of mixed roads that the area has to offer: paved county roads, the Katy Trail, and a mix of hardcore and hilly gravel roads. If you are looking for a rewarding challenge, then this run is for you!

Departing from the Off Track Events Headquarters on the top of the bluff in Rocheport, this run is a true combination of country experiences. All distances start with a rolling and scenic stretch down the gravel wonderland of Roby Farm Rd. The 5k will do an out and back with the 10k adding on the challenging by beautiful Sinking Creek Road. The longer distances will then run down the hill on County Hwy BB into the historic town of Rocheport. The 45+ and Marathon runners will head out on the long route through gravel roads surrounding the Davisdale Conservation area eventually meeting back up on the half marathon course outside of Rocheport. The marathon and 45 miler will run through the Rocheport tunnel before an extended stretch on the Katy Trail. Expect fast times on this flat section of the course mixed with amazing views of the Missouri River, scenic bluffs, and natural beauty. Enjoy the tranquility while you can as a major hill climb awaits before the final stretch of the course leading to the finish line. Finisher medals must be earned!

Participants on the 45+ mile route have the option of participating solo or with up to 6 team members! This relay option is only available for the 45+ mile route and not the shorter distances. There will be 8 team meet up spots on the route that team members will be able to both pass the torch (team slapstick wristband) to the next member as well as be able to hang out and pass some time while waiting for the next team member to catch up. The distances between checkpoints are 3 miles to 8 miles. Pick and choose what routes members will tackle! Team checkpoints will be located in Huntsdale, Rocheport, Franklin, Boonville, and in the middle of nowhere!

At the conclusion of the run, everyone will be rewarded with music, free drinks and donuts, a finisher medal, a bonfire party, and well earned satisfaction for finishing a true Mid-Missouri country endurance run!

All participants will be chip timed so you can track your individual results and work towards your personal goals! However, it doesn’t matter if you run fast or slow, you are are all winners at this event!
