SUMMARY:Holiday 5K\, 10K & 13.1Mi
DESCRIPTION:US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly\, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local\, welcoming\, and easy to jump into\, whether you are chasing a PR\, collecting another themed medal\, working toward series points\, or just getting outside with good people. \nMost races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course\, helpful race staff\, finisher medals\, results\, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes\, your steady walking pace\, your favorite running buddy\, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. \nA quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races\, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site\, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather\, bring anything you may want between laps\, and check in with race staff if you need help.

SUMMARY:Castlewood 8-Hour Adventure Race
DESCRIPTION:Named by Terrain Magazine’s Readers as the Best Adventure Race in the area\, the Castlewood 8-Hour Adventure Race© has grown to become the third-largest adventure race in the country. And it’s all happening right here in St. Louis. \nWhat is Adventure Racing? A multi-sport\, off-road\, team event with no marked course. Teams must use a map and compass to navigate their way through a series of checkpoints on mountain bikes\, in canoes\, and or on foot to reach the Finish line. \nHow long is the race? Expect to cover 5-10 miles paddling\, 15-20 miles biking\, and 5-10 miles on foot. Please see the Frequently Asked Questions section for more information. \nRace Location: That’s a secret! Part of the appeal of adventure racing is charging into the unknown on race day. A course overview will be available closer to race time to help you plan your gear and food. Plan on four to eight hours of continuous movement through the woods\, rivers\, and roads of the St. Louis area. (Even though the event is named after Castlewood State Park\, we may not necessarily even go through the park on race day!) \nTeam Configurations: \n\n2-Person (Co-Ed\, Men’s\, and Women’s Divisions)\n4-Person (Co-Ed\, Men’s\, and Women’s Divisions)\nFamily (2+ related people\, one over 18 and one under 18\, one canoe per team)\n\nPlease Note: the cap for previous races was 300 participants and registrations were SOLD OUT before the end of October. Register early to ensure your spot in the race!  \nEVENT NOTES: \n\nThis year’s Race HQ (though still a secret!) does not allow alcohol to be consumed on its premises. We will be working with our League beer sponsor 4Hands Brewing Co. to provide vouchers for you and your team to use post-race.\nYou must register by November 1 to guarantee you receive this year’s logo hoodie as part of your registration.

SUMMARY:Holiday 5K\, 10K & 13.1Mi
DESCRIPTION:US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly\, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local\, welcoming\, and easy to jump into\, whether you are chasing a PR\, collecting another themed medal\, working toward series points\, or just getting outside with good people. \nMost races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course\, helpful race staff\, finisher medals\, results\, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes\, your steady walking pace\, your favorite running buddy\, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. \nA quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races\, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site\, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather\, bring anything you may want between laps\, and check in with race staff if you need help.

SUMMARY:Frostbite Series – 3K/12K
DESCRIPTION:The Frostbite Series will take place at its usual short and long course series of races starting at the Forest Park Visitors Center. We strongly encourage participants to preregister as limited race day registrations will be available. For those who cannot compete in the entire series\, single race registrations are also available. \nThe long and short course series will each have its own set of starting times. The start for the long race will begin at 8:00 a.m. The start for short races will begin at 8:15 a.m.  Bib numbers can be picked up prior to race day – see below. Bibs should be kept and used for the duration of the series. Replacement bibs will be available should you lose/forget yours. \nWalkers for the LONG RACE will have the opportunity to start at 7:30 a.m. Look for more information in the pre-race email. \nMiddle school and high school runners have the option at registration to have their performance compared to peer runners in middle or high school school. If you wish to do this\, click the middle/high school option button on your registration. \nPre-race instructions will be sent to participants prior to race day\, including details for entering the starting area. \nPACKET PICK UP: Friday\, December 11 from noon to 6 p.m. inside the Forest Park Visitor Center. Also each race morning inside the visitor center starting at 7 a.m. \nRace day details  \nStarting lines will be near the Visitors Center in Forest Park. As with last year’s Series\, we do not have a permit this year to use the Visitors Center on race day. While the Visitors Center is open\, participants will need to follow its requirements for guests. Portable restrooms will be available in the parking lot across from the Visitors Center. We encourage participants to wait in their vehicles or outside before their start time. \nWater and safety stations will be set up on the course. Stations will have water and sports drink in cups. Participants will be required to pick up their own drinks at water stations. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottle or hydration device. \nPost-race refreshments will consist of water\, sports drink\, and pre-packaged products that participants can pick up on their own. \nHealth safety protocols \nSt. Louis Track Club encourages health and safety considerations regarding participants and volunteers. Participants will be required to follow any health and safety mandates that are in place for the City of St. Louis at the time of the race. Foremost\, it is important to remember that the roads in Forest Park are open during the races\, so walkers and runners should be vigilant throughout their races. \nShirts and awards \nAll series participants will receive a race shirt and series commemorative event medal. Shirts for series participants will be distributed at bib pickup. Participants in single races can purchase a shirt during registration. \nAwards will be given for each series (per gender) in the following age groups: 12 & under; 13-16; 17-19; 20-24; 25-29; 30-34; 35-39; 40-44; 45-49; 50-54; 55-59; 60-64; 65-69; 70-74; 75-79; 80 & over. Your age on December 14 will determine your age for the series\, even if you’re an individual race entrant. \nSeries awards will be earned by accruing points across a maximum of four races (i.e.\, your four best races). There will be 5 awards per age/gender group. A runner’s races will be awarded points based on their age/gender group placement using the following scale: 1st – 50 points; 2nd – 45 points; 3rd – 40 points; 4th – 35 points; 5th – 30 points; 6th – 25 points; 7th – 20 points; 8th – 15 points; 9th – 10 points; all finishers receive 5 points. Details on receiving awards will be sent to recipients following the conclusion of the series.  Only series registrants are eligible for series awards. \nFor the individual races in each series\, the top five runners in each age group by gender receive a ribbon. Results are posted by Start2Finish at the conclusion of each race. Participants may claim these awards by coming to the registration table. \nCancellations and weather policy \nAs with any race year\, the safety and well-being of everyone is our utmost concern and we will keep all event options within the guidelines of the CDC\, the State of Missouri\, the City of St. Louis\, and the Road Runners Club of America. \nRaces will be held rain\, snow\, or shine and will not be cancelled except for cases of severe weather or unsafe road/course conditions. Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or race day activities to ensure participant\, volunteer\, and community safety. The St. Louis Track Club is a nonprofit organization and all net proceeds are used to further the SLTC’s mission in the community. As such\, no refunds or credits will be given in case of cancellation due to weather. \nCharity Shoe Drive \nWe will be collecting your used running and other athletic shoes (cleats included).  It doesn’t matter what shape they are in\, just bring them with you and drop off in the pile near race registration.  Money raised from recycling the shoes will go to our Scholarship fund.
