12k 5k Run Trail Virtual

This event benefits Crosslines Ministries and 4-H of Jasper County in Carthage, MO.

The races starts at the Route-66 Drive-in theater on Old Rt66 in Brooklyn Heights, near Carthage.

The 12K makes a long loop along quiet, paved suburban country roads, crosses I-49 bridge, past Leggett & Platt HQ, then turns onto beautiful Ruby Jack path, crosses Rt66 again for a final loop to end back at the Drive-In theater.

Route is quiet (except for the I-49 bridge crossing) and County Sheriff officers will provide safety at critical road crossings.

The12K course is USATF-certified (the only one in Missouri!) and qualifies for a MO-state record or true PR.

The 5K course starts at the same Route-66 Drive-in, does not cross Rt66, but immediately turns towards the Ruby Jack for an out-and-back run, with the turn-around at the trails' parking lot adjacent to Leggett & Platt HQ. The route is almost entirely on the Ruby Jack trail and is safe and quiet.

Overall awards for male and female in each race, with additional age group and age-graded awards. MO age-record awards for anyone setting a Missouri age record. Finishers' medal to all finishers.

Vendors, music, raffle for gift certificates and award ceremony for both races.
