Races Near Me: Upcoming Running Races

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.

Join the "Run for Mental Health"! A journey of hope and connection. 💙 Every step is a reminder that no one has to face life’s challenges alone. Whether running for yourself or someone you love, your stride makes a difference. Let's break the stigma together! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💨 Run with purpose. Run with heart! 💪 Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds. We keep things small, personal, and local, so every run feels less like a number and more like a memory. Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event. Overview: Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist. This is a smaller, private group run with a capped field per wave - so it never feels crowded, and you're never just a bib number. All paces and ages welcome (under 18 with a guardian) - run it, walk it, however you like! There's no gear, no setup, no fuss - just you, the course, and our coordinators cheering you on in a relaxed, stress-free setting. When you sign up, you're not just registering for a race - you're getting real support toward your fitness goals, plus an invite to join one of our local run clubs to keep the momentum going. Timing: Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you. No timing chips - this is about progress, not pressure.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.

History: Three Creeks Torrent Trail Runs is a race sponsored by Columbia Track Club that takes place at Three Creeks Conservation Area, about ten minutes south of Columbia, Missouri.

Some former homesteads are even still visible today. Course: The course is an approximate 10 mile loop. It is about 80% single track trail and 20% jeep/gravel road, with a variety of terrain. There are approximately ten creek crossings per loop, so you will get wet. There is about 950 feet of elevation gain per loop.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day weekend with a challenge that takes determination and a willingness to keep showing up. Join Do Hard Things for the Shamruck & Run Backyard Ultra, featuring running and weighted rucking divisions in a last-person-standing format. Whether you’re chasing a distance milestone or competing to be the last person on the course, bring your green, gather your support crew, and settle in for a day of doing hard things. How It Works Both divisions begin at 8:00 AM, with a new loop starting at the top of every hour. Participants must finish their division’s loop within that hour and be ready to start again at the next hourly start. Finish early, and the remaining time is yours to rest, eat, change gear, and prepare for another loop. All loops start together at the scheduled time. Finishing early does not allow you to begin your next loop early. If you don’t finish within the hour or aren’t ready for the next start, your race is over. The event continues until one participant remains in each division. There is no preset finishing time. Running Division Runners will complete a 4.167-mile loop every hour. Approximately 100 miles over 24 completed loops. Run, walk, or combine the two. Your goal is to finish before the next hourly start and keep coming back for more. Rucking Division Ruckers will complete a 2.6-mile loop every hour. Approximately 100 kilometers over 24 completed loops. Minimum required ruck weights: Women: 20 pounds Men: 30 pounds Bring your own ruck and required weight. Registration & Awards Registration fee: $100 Registration provides entry into your chosen division, course access, and hourly lap tracking. Participant swag and awards Awards will recognize the last person standing in each division, with additional recognition for men’s and women’s winners. A Dollar Per Loop. A Reason to Keep Going. In addition to registration, participants will contribute $1 to the race jar before each loop. Bring enough dollar bills for the distance you hope to cover and a few extra in case you surprise yourself. POT SPLIT: Half of each division’s race jar goes to its last-person-standing winner, with the other half donated to the veterans organization linked below. Charity information: welcomeveterans.org Set Up Your Base Camp Check-in opens at 6:30 AM, allowing time to set up your personal camp and transition area before the 8:00 AM start. Plan to be self-supported. Bring your own food, hydration, electrolytes, and anything else you need to stay comfortable between loops. A chair, shelter, extra layers, spare socks, foot care supplies, and lighting for after dark are recommended. Cooper’s Landing amenities will be available according to the venue’s operating hours and policies. Plan ahead for your personal needs throughout the event. IMPORTANT NOTE: Your Goal. Your Next Loop. You don’t have to run all day and night to take on this challenge. Come with a personal goal, test your limits, and share the course with people choosing to do the same. Wear your green. Bring your grit. Earn your next start.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting.

Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line.

EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish.
