Get Your Butt Kicked @ Route 66

Get Your Butt Kicked @ Route 66 is a timed ultra running event held at Route 66 State Park near Eureka, Missouri. Participants can choose between 3-hour and 6-hour race options, running loops of a 2.425-mile course through the park's wooded northwest corner. The course features a mix of thin pavement, chip seal, and fine gravel, offering a fairly flat and fast route.

Runners complete as many loops as possible within their time limit, switching to a shorter 0.333-mile loop near the end. The race takes place in mid-summer, so heat and hydration are key considerations. The event emphasizes a low-key, community atmosphere with aid stations, bathrooms, and eco-friendly practices like being a cupless race.

All finishers receive medals and custom socks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
