Event Description
Two races are available with recovery time between races. Two mile race is at 4pm, 8K race at 5pm.
This is a “no frills, no shirt, no medals” race day with the intention to have all net proceeds go to the Greater Joplin Cerebral Palsy Center scholarship fund.
Prizes are pumpkins instead of medals!
Participants will receive a certified time for either or both distances and qualify for listing on MO staterunningrecords.com and on MaraRunning.org.
Runners taking part in both races will also be ranked by Age-Graded Performance Percentage (World Masters Athletics scoring chart), creating a level-playing field for all participants, regardless of gender or age. Largest prize-pumpkins for the top-three AGP% scores. First 40 ranked receive a "participation" pumpkin.
Water available at the start/finish and along the course.
Both races will start and end at the Leggett & Platt parking lot (N. section) and held almost entirely on the Ruby Jack trail. Course is flat and fast! Come and set a PR!!
