Packet Pickup
Packet pickup will be Friday, April 11, 2024 at the Des Peres Fleet Feet location at 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm. Race day pickup will start at 7:00 am.
Race Cutoff Times
We have an 8.5 hour-ish cutoff for all races. We are a relaxed group! For 50K racers the cutoff for the first loop is the 4 hour-ish mark.
Aid Stations
Lots of aid stations throughout the course. They will have standard ultra food (bananas, pretzels, potatoes, chips, water, electrolytes.) This is a cup free race so make sure you bring your own water bottle or hydration pack to refill at the aid stations. Aid stations will be set up approximately at 3.5M, 8M, 12.5M, 16M, 19.5M, 24M and 28.5M. It is always a good idea to carry food and water in case we have a very hot day.
Refunds/Drops/Deferrals/Waitlist
Unfortunately there are no refunds if you can't make it. We utilize the money from registrations for all the race day activities. Additional money will be donated back to the trail system or organizations in the STL area that help make our trails beautiful
- You may drop from the 50k to the 25k up to a week prior to race day. Any drops after this or on race day are allowed, but you will not be eligible for awards (Overall or Age Group).
- Sorry no waitlist.
Bib Transfers
We will allow bib transfers until 4/10/2025. If you choose to give or sell your registration to another runner, it will be up to you to make that transaction. A bib transfer is a 2-step process that must be completed by the original registrant AND the recipient (not the Race Director).To complete a bib transfer, you must log in and edit your race registration on the UltraSignup website and enter the recipient's name and email address to set up the transfer; the recipient must then complete registration via UltraSignup using the credit created by your cancellation/transfer to enter the race. If someone shows up on race day and has not completed this process, they will not be entered in the race. If you are selling your registration to another runner, it is up to you to collect the money from the buyer. Funds will not be transferred via UltraSignup.
Drop Bags
We will have a tarp laid out right when you walk into the park on the way to the start line. It is a good idea to put your NAME and RACE NUMBER on your bag. We will move these bags to the finish line, which is also halfway through the 50K. All drop bags must be picked up before leaving the race. All unclaimed items will be donated to charity.
Swag
We have had several requests for Boco hats again! We listened and there are five to pick from. Make your selection at packet pickup.
