About the Event

Embrace the pure, old-school ethos of trail running at the 963 Beulah Challenge on Saturday, February 7, 2026, a no-frills, community-focused night race on the rugged 4.2-mile Beulah Loop in Greensfelder County Park. Choose your test with 9-hour, 6-hour, or 3-hour timed events, each demanding multiple laps on a challenging course of Missouri single-track, complete with rocks, roots, and nearly 400 feet of climbing per loop under the cover of darkness. This intentionally stripped-back event forgoes medals, swag, and post-race meals to keep entry affordable, donating a portion of proceeds to local trail builders and welcoming runners of all gender identities in an inclusive, affirming space. With a strict no-crew, no-pacer policy to preserve the venue's future, the challenge becomes a deeply personal battle against the clock and terrain, where the only reward is the immense satisfaction of earning a distance-based souvenir and true bragging rights.

As a proudly cup-free event and part of the Trail Mix Fund to improve diversity in the sport, this grassroots race emphasizes sustainability, accessibility, and the raw joy of running on well-cared-for trails. Bring your own headlamp, hydration vessel, and grit to join the capped field of 75 participants for a midnight finish under the Missouri stars. Secure your spot in this Terrain Trail Runners classic, where the real prize is the shared struggle, the silent woods, and the profound connection to the trail running community.
