Get Your Butt Kicked @ Route 66
July 19 @ 6:00 pm - July 20 @ 12:00 am
This timed race with 3-hour (new this year!) and 6-hour options takes place in Route 66 State Park located just east of Eureka, MO. The course is a measured 2.425 mile loop through the wooded northwest corner of Route 66 State Park. The course is a wide path consisting of thin pavement, chip n seal and some fine gravel. Although the loop is fairly flat and fast, the temperature in July must be considered an overriding factor by each runner. This is a great course for both those that are new to ultra running as well as experienced runners looking for a fast course.
Start/finish area is at the Forest Shelter which has adequate parking around it. The Forest Shelter is the main aid station and will have Ultra-Food.
6-hour race starts at 6 pm and ends at midnight. 3-hour race starts at 7:30 pm and ends at 10:30 pm. Darkness comes around 8:30 pm so runners will need some kind of running light for the second half of the race.
