The Skippo Trail Race

The SKIPPO Trail Race is a popular two-day trail running event held at Castlewood State Park in Ballwin, Missouri. Established in 2009, it features multiple race distances including a 10k, half-marathon, 30k, and challenge events combining these distances (10k - Half Marathon Challenge and 40k Challenge). The course consists of scenic loops with a relatively flat terrain, highlighted by the park’s famous stairs.

The race encourages team competition, especially in the Saturday 10k, where teams of up to five runners compete by combining the top three times. The event is part of the Big River Trail Series and attracts trail runners seeking a challenging yet community-focused race experience.
