St. Louis Trail Run (Cancelled)

CANCELLED! 

WHAT:   XTERRA St. Louis

WHEN:  August 10 & 11, 2019

WHERE:  Council Bluff Recreational Area (map it)  

In 2018 we debut our new venue and it was a huge hit.  Here are some comments from participants:

"I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you so much for all of your work to make the XTERRA race yesterday one I will never forget!  All I can say is "WOW!"

"It was so well-organized and the venue was spectacular!  The course was amazing, and I noticed all of the work that you did on the trail to prep it.  It was great. " 

"I will absolutely spread the word.  I will tell you this, too. . .I haven't been as nervous about a race in a long time because of the difficulty of both the bike and the run course.  However, I also haven't felt the sense of accomplishment that I did yesterday in a long, long time.  It was an INCREDIBLE feeling to cross that finish line!! "

"Mike well done for you and your crew today. Really enjoyed the race"

This course showcases the beauty of the Missouri Ozarks. Featuring a rugged backcountry mountain bike course, encompassing a breath-taking view of the lake. This course demands your full attention at all times. However, it isn't so technical that beginners will struggle. The one short rock garden section will be clearly marked and participants are encouraged to run it if in doubt. The new course will also feature a lot more climbing/descending than in past years.

The run is tough. Enjoy the flat run out and back from the beach because after that it is all climbing and descending. The singletrack will keep you on your toes as well.

Camping, concessions and hot showers are all available at the venue site.

Sign up before July 27th to be guaranteed a high quality technical fabric T-Shirt.

Finisher medals for all XTERRA athletes.

PLEASE NOTE:  Cell reception is non existent at the beach.  A 10 minute drive out of the area for most cell phone carriers to find reception.
