963 Beulah Challenge
The 963 Beulah Challenge is a community-focused timed trail event hosted at the Beulah Shelter in Greensfelder County Park, Wildwood, MO. The event uses a single loop on the Beulah Trail that measures 4.2 miles with approximately 397 feet of elevation gain and 397 feet of elevation loss per loop. The trail is 100% single track with rocks and roots, so a solid headlamp is advisable.
The event offers timed formats with three time-limited options. The field is capped at 75 participants. The event operates as a no-crew, no-pacer race; due to limited parking and shelter space only registered runners are allowed at the venue. Drop bags and other gear may be left at the shelter at check in. There is one aid station located at the start/finish shelter that is reached once every 4.2 mile loop.
A portion of event proceeds is donated to Gateway Off-Road Cyclists (GORC). The event is also part of the Trail Mix Fund, which pays some registration fees to improve diversity and reduce financial barriers.
The event keeps race extras minimal: no medals or awards are provided, but finishing the required distance within the time limits earns a souvenir. Custom technical running hats are available for purchase at check in for $30. The event is cup free; participants should provide their own drinking receptacle or purchase a collapsible cup at check in. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
