Three Creeks Torrent Trail Runs is a race sponsored by Columbia Track Club that takes place at Three Creeks Conservation Area, about ten minutes south of Columbia, Missouri. The area is unique in that the land was originally largely owned and worked in 40 and 80 acre parcels purchased by freed slaves following the Civil War. Some former homesteads are even still visible today.
Course:
The course is an approximate 10 mile loop. It is about 80% single track trail and 20% jeep/gravel road, with a variety of terrain. There are approximately ten creek crossings per loop, so you will get wet. There is about 950 feet of elevation gain per loop.
Time Limit:
The time limit to complete the course is 8 hours for the 30 mile, 7 hours for the 20 mile, and 6 hours for the 10 mile. 20 mile runners must start their final loop by 11:30 a.m., and 30 mile runners must start their final loop by 12:30 p.m. The cutoff at the Tomlin trailhead aid station is 2:00 p.m. All races will end at 3:00 p.m.
Awards/Swag:
Entry to next year's race or 2025 Rock Bridge Revenge (25K or 50K) for Overall Male & Female in each race.
Each runner will receive a t-shirt (register by February 12 to be guaranteed the shirt you want), and upon finishing will receive a special item.
