The Frisco Railroad Run takes place on April 25, 2026 in Willard, MO. The event offers multiple race distances on the same day:
- 50-Mile
- 50K
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 8K
The event is organized by the Ozark Mountain Ridge Runners, a not-for-profit club, and proceeds benefit Ozark Greenways.
Course
All races are out-and-back on the Frisco Highline Trail. The courses are USATF certified and the marathon is a Boston qualifier. The trail is rail-to-trail, mostly flat with fine-crushed hard-packed gravel, and the full Frisco Highline Trail covers 35 miles with about 3% elevation gain. The start and finish are located at the Willard Middle School parking lot.
Support and logistics
Aid stations are located at miles 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 13, 15.5, 20, and 25; stations typically provide water, electrolyte drink, soda, gels, and fruit, and some stations have porta-potties. Drop bags are allowed only for 50K and 50-Mile runners and are transported from the school lobby to specified aid stations (mile 15.5 for 50K, mile 25 for 50 Mile). A general gear check is available at the school lobby. Age minimums apply: 18+ for marathon, 50K, and 50 Mile; 13+ for the half marathon. Dogs, strollers, pacers, and muels are not allowed on the course. Parking is available in the middle school lot. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
