Firecracker Trek Branson

The Firecracker Trek Branson is a trail running event held at the Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area in Branson, Missouri. It features 5K and 10K distances on a scenic yet challenging course characterized by technical rock and dirt single-track trails, rocky and rooty sections, and steps. The route follows the Grand Hiking Loop with significant elevation changes, gaining about 400 feet every 3 miles, offering runners a hilly and picturesque experience.

The race promotes a cupless format, encouraging participants to bring their own hydration. Participants receive a commemorative tee shirt and awards are given for top finishers, including special categories like Old Timer and Dead Freakin' Last. The event is supported with aid stations, course markings, and friendly staff. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
