Location & Course
Cuivre River State Park is located in Troy, Missouri. Runners are sent onto the race course in waves of 25 that have been seeded according to their predicted pace for a road 10K.
The event features a 8.14-mile course takes runners through some of the most picturesque areas of the park. Runners typically experience explosive fall foliage and cooler fall temperatures. The course will begin and finish near race headquarters at the beautiful stone lakeside pavilion. Heading out on the course in waves of 25, participants can expect rolling dirt hills mixed with rocky patches, great scenic views from all angles around the lake and open fields with tall grass, before heading back into the woods. The course offers new challenges for every level. Competitive runners can let loose and move into a flow around twists and turns without having to worry about difficult climbs. Novice runners will get a taste of a semi-fast course while enjoying awesome scenery. Beginners can enjoy striking views along the entire course that will remind you of the Ozarks, with some challenging footing that will keep you on your toes!
