2006 Pain Terrain Scramble

Trail Running Returns to the Midwest with a Vengeance

If you have faith in the slogan "No Pain, No Gain" then the XTERRA Pain Terrain Scramble® is just the event for you.  Enthused athletes of all ages and skill-levels will congregate on Saturday, August 19th at Landahl Park in Blue Springs, Missouri for one of the most exhilarating and challenging off-road running races in the Midwest. 

In this course, Mother Nature kicks it up a notch by dishing-out a host of her favorite elements including: ferocious humidity, precipitous elevation, and tricky single-track rocky descents.  Race director Bill Marshall can't hide a devilish grin as he exclaims that this "hilly, rocky course will test your pain threshold to the fullest extent!  The route is infamous in the mountain bike community as one of the toughest tracks in the country."

The fittest will thrive and the rest will survive, but ALL participants will have a blast battling the conditions and finding the finish line.  It's true that this course is not for the faint of heart, however XTERRA encourages everyone to dust off those running shoes and take a step in the direction of health and happiness. 

The XTERRA Pain Terrain Scramble® is the second in the 3-race Midwest Points Series.  Runners may choose from a 5K or 10K distance.  For the 10K, the top 5 finishers in each age group of the point series qualify to participate at the XTERRA National Scramble Championships in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.  Medals and prizes provided by The North Face will be awarded to the top three finishers in each division for male and female.
