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—Dogwood, Woodbine, Hawthorn, and Equestrian—with about 1,350 feet of elevation gain. It welcomes both beginner and experienced trail runners. A new ruck division requires participants to carry at least 20 lbs in a backpack or weighted vest, supporting a charity with part of the registration fee.

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. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
