Race toward a potential state record on a historic and scenic rails-to-trails course at the Flat Branch Ultra 50K, February 21, 2026. This USATF-certified event in Columbia, Missouri, offers a flat, fast point-to-point journey along the MKT and Katy Trails, following the Missouri River beneath towering bluffs and past a legendary 400-year-old Bur Oak tree. With only 125 spots available, the race sells out quickly, attracting runners seeking a personal best or a competitive shot at the Missouri 50k state record on its meticulously measured course.
Organized by Ha Ha Racing Events and sponsored by Fleet Feet, the ultra features four well-stocked aid stations, a strict noon cutoff at the halfway point, and a festive post-race atmosphere at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park start/finish. The event blends competitive ambition with a strong community feel, welcoming runners to bring chairs and refreshments to cheer on fellow finishers. Secure one of the coveted spots for a classic, fast, and beautifully organized Midwestern trail ultra.
