The Midwest Ultra Trail Classic
The Midwest Ultra Trail Classic is the inaugural trail running event held at Knob Noster State Park in Knob Noster, Missouri, on 11/21/2026. The course is a 10K loop on the Opossum Hollow Trail composed entirely of technical single track with winding forest trails, rolling hills, roots, rocks, and creek crossings.
Each loop includes approximately 550 feet of elevation gain. Distances are formed by repeating the loop:
- 10K (1 loop)
- 20K (2 loops)
- 30K (3 loops)
- 40K (4 loops)
- 50K (5 loops; 9 hour cutoff)
All runners start together and return to the Start/Finish area every 10K. The Start/Finish area includes a fully stocked aid station and allows personal coolers and gear storage; no drop bags are necessary. Aid station access is provided at the Start/Finish every 10K. Crew access is permitted only at the Start/Finish area; crew are not allowed on course.
The event is professionally timed. A finisher medal is awarded to all participants. Race shirts were included with registration; the shirt deadline has passed. Pacers are not allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
