963 Beulah Challenge
The 963 Beulah Challenge is a night trail race hosted by Terrain Trail Runners at the Beulah Shelter in Greensfelder County Park, Wildwood, Missouri. It is a timed event offered in three durations: 9 hours, 6 hours, and 3 hours. The race is capped at 75 participants.
The course is a single-track loop of 4.2 miles with approximately 397 feet of elevation gain and loss per loop. The trail surface is all dirt with rocks and roots; runners are advised to bring a solid headlamp. In 2027 the loop will be run clockwise. Race headquarters, the start and finish, and the only aid station are located at the Beulah Shelter; runners pass this aid station each loop. Drop bags and gear may be left at the shelter at check in.
This event donates a portion of proceeds to Gateway Off-Road Cyclists (GORC). For its 10th anniversary in 2027 the race will match participant donations to GORC at registration. The race also participates in the Trail Mix Fund to cover registration fees for eligible runners.
The event maintains a cup-free, zero-waste policy; participants should bring their own drinking receptacle. Traditional awards and medals are not provided, but finishers who meet the distance targets receive a souvenir, and optional custom merchandise is available for purchase.
