I moved here in 2009 and this was my first race done in this area. I was still acclimating to weather conditions and training here but I thought I would try my hand at this race. It was so much fun. Super flat course with a hometown feel. I took 2nd in my age group with a time of 23:58.
I went home and grab the family and came back to the festival. It was a great way to get to know Missouri and all the festivals that get started in the fall season!
This race is definitely a must do, if you like small town races!
