About the Event

Embrace the chill of a Missouri winter at The Nippy Niner Trail Run, a rescheduled and revitalized event now set for Sunday, February 1st, 2026. This unique race, staged in the scenic and challenging terrain of Spanish Lake Park, dares runners to conquer a dynamic blend of paved trail, gravel, and winding singletrack around two serene lakes. Choose your challenge between the signature 9-mile (15k) two-loop course or the brisk 5.6-mile (9k) single loop, both designed to test your mettle against the elements and the landscape. With a firm 9:00 AM mass start, this event promises an authentic, no-frills trail running adventure where the reward is the run itself and a coveted embroidered beanie for early registrants.

Organized by Big Shark Bicycle Company, the Nippy Niner is famous for its "rain, snow, or shine" ethos, ensuring an unforgettable experience regardless of weather. The course offers varied support with a strategically placed water station and culminates in a celebration of personal achievement over on-site awards. It's the perfect winter challenge for both trail veterans seeking a rugged test and newcomers ready to discover the thrill of off-road running in a supportive, community-driven atmosphere.
