Location & Course
Cuivre River State Park is located in Troy, Missouri. Runners are sent onto the race course in waves of 30-35 that have been seeded according to their predicted pace for their road half marathon & 15K.
This year’s course will include incredible bluff views. Along the course, runners can expect wide fireman roads, narrow single track trails, rolling hills, steep climbs (but not too many), and numerous creek crossings through the bottomland forest of Big Sugar Creek. Participants should also expect to experience your average midwest rocks, roots, mud, along with some spectacular wildlife. The striking views along the course will remind you of the famous Missouri Ozarks. The course offers new challenges for every level while enjoying the amazing scenery.
Dogs are not permitted on the course or in the race.

Event Policies & FAQs
- No-Risk Registration - We understand these are uncertain times. Our intention is to host an in-person event. However, should the health situation change and we are unable to host the event, all runners will be able to defer to 2023 or run the event virtually. If the event is canceled prior to February 21, 2022, participants will have the option to choose between a refund, deferral, or running the event virtually.
- Will there be on-course Aid Stations? Yes, there will be on-course aid stations BUT with minimal supplies and support. We highly encourage and recommend participants carry all hydrations and nutritional needs in their running pack.
- Will there be on-course support? Yes, we will have course marshals and traffic control on the course. Athletic Trainers will be available at the finish line.
- Are dogs allowed at the event or allowed to participate? We love dogs, but dogs are not allowed at this event or allowed to participate in the race.
- Inclement Weather Policy: The safety of our participants and volunteers is our highest priority. If severe weather is present, we will post an update on the Facebook Event Page and at the top of this page by 7:00 am the morning of the event at the latest.
- Refund Policy - No refunds will be given after February 21, 2022. Processing fees are non-refundable. Entries are not transferable to another event but can be transferred to another participant. Transferring registration is allowed through March 7, 2022. A $3 processing fee will be applied to all refunds and transfers.
- What if I have a positive COVID-19 test or show symptoms of COVID-19? If you have a positive COVID-19 test or are showing symptoms (click here for a full list of symptoms) we ask that you do not attend the event. Participants who fall into this category, and have a positive COVID test will be offered the following options; defer to the 2023 event, or participate virtually after their quarantine period.
- COVID-19 Status: Our intention is to be able to hold this event in person. We are working on plans to take all necessary precautions to make this a safe event during the COVID-19 situation based on the latest/greatest guidelines as the event approaches. As we finalize those plans and precautions and have them in place, we will include them in race communications closer to the race date. Participant safety is our number one concern, so if it is deemed unsafe to have an in-person event, the race will be switched to an all-virtual event. Should we have to hold the event virtually, we will automatically switch all participants to the virtual event and send details on how to obtain your race swag and submit your virtual times. If you do not want to participate in the virtual event, you can defer your entry to our 2023 event. We will contact all participants in the event that it goes virtual with further instructions.
