Sunday’s (9/5) 5k Championships Canceled

Well, we probably should have seen this coming, but even the Trail Running Series is getting big enough now to make the state worry about weekend problems at Castlewood State Park. The Rangers have asked us to cancel this Sunday’s 5k Championships. So, this Thursday will be our finale for the Trail Run Series.

Alpine Shop and Big River Running want to thank you for helping us make the series such a success and we’ll be meeting with the State Parks to plan out next summer’s schedule soon – knowing weekends are out from now on!

It’s just proof that St. Louis is truly looking for fun activities to do – even through one of the hottest summers on record. Thanks St. Louis for making the Off Road Racing League such a huge success!

New Courses. New Challenges. See you Thursday!

The second running of the Alpine Shop Trail Run Series goes off this Thursday, August 26 at Castlewood State Park at 6:30 pm. The start and finish location will remain in the second meadow past the ranger station, but the course will be all new.

Expect a creek crossing this week with a total distance for the advanced/intermediate racers of about 4 miles. Beginners, we promise not to take you over two miles for your run.

If you haven’t joined us this summer yet for any part of the Off-Road Racing League, consider this your invitation. We started this series as a way to get people active outside having fun. We mix a little healthy dose of competition in and then celebrate it all with free food and adult beverages (for the adults, of course). Grab some freebies from the Alpine Shop tent and sign up for raffle prizes all evening long. This week’s sponsor is Wigwam socks and all participants will receive a free pair of either Terrain Trax or Trail Trax socks.

Registration is $20 for all racers for the first race and $10 for every race after.

Series sponsor Big River Running will have results up at BigRiverRunning.com almost immediately so you can check your times.
