Babler Bongo 15K Trail Race
Wildwood, United States • 25 Oct 2025
The Babler Bongo 15K Trail Race and 15K RUCK take place at Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park in Wildwood, Missouri.
This event features a challenging 15K loop course connecting several trails with about 1,350 feet of elevation gain, suitable for both beginners and experienced trail runners. A new ruck division requires participants to carry at least 20 lbs in a backpack, with proceeds supporting a veteran dog charity. The race is cup-free to promote sustainability, so runners must bring their own hydration gear.
Finishers receive custom medals or patches, and post-race snacks and beverages are provided. The race is capped at 100 participants, fostering an intimate and supportive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
