Organiser's description

Held on Morse Park's HomeStead and RoughRiders trail, this race qualifies for any New-Year's resolution to start a healthier and more active lifestyle!
This walkers', joggers' and bike trail is a unique treasure in SW Missouri for its nature scenes and location. The difficulty level of this single trail is easy to moderate and has previously been accomplished by runners of all ages and capabilities, although the youngest of runners may need adult supervision.

The run is held in winter, so expect not just the occasional rocks or roots, leaves or branches, but also any type of weather condition. Prepare for 60F sunny weather, 10F and snow and anything in between. Winter weather is par for the course and DOES NOT CANCEL THE RACE. In extreme cases (blizzard, thunderstorm), we may delay the race a short while until it is safe to run/walk (check your email and Facebook event page prior to and on race day).

Affordable race because of the "no shirt" option and because all of us are volunteers.
