Whether you are faster than a speeding bullet or if time limits are your kryptonite, there’s something for everyone at the Super Awesome race series!
Take on any distance from one mile to ultramarathon; be a hero and run more than one day! Our eight hour time limit for all distances means everyone is welcome, including walkers and kids. And our unique multi-lap course with laps that are no longer than three miles means you’ll always be with all of your friends, who will become family, because this week is kind of like superhero summer camp. Our Super Aid Station will be fully stocked with unlimited food and drink, everything from Gu and candy to potato chips and cookies.
The most customizable races you’ll ever be part of, you can run one, two, or all five days; you can run all of the same distances, or mix and match your distances. Five races. Five states. Five days. Five times the fun!
Day one is in Sikeston, Missouri. The course is completely flat on asphalt around a lake. Our Super Awesome aid station will never be more than 2 miles away, so you can stay hydrated and fed the entire time. To help you keep your energy up throughout the week, our aid stations are a complete buffet, including energy gels (a variety of flavors of Gu, Powergel, and Clif Shots), fruit, chips, pretzels, candy, and cookies. We also have a fully stocked recovery zone with foam rollers, massage sticks, BioFreeze, and the all-important chocolate milk for after your race.
Join us for a pre-race dinner at packet pickup the night before the race at Lambert’s Cafe, where the staff literally throws unlimited numbers of gigantic hot rolls to you! The Travel Channel named Lambert’s Cafe the number one place to “pig out”, which makes it the perfect place to begin the carb loading for this adventure!
The important info:
– All courses are paved park paths and are mostly FLAT.
– All races begin at 7am local time. All races are in the Central Time Zone.
– Your best bet for round-trip flights are St. Louis, Memphis, or Nashville, all three within a 3 hour drive of the first and last day.
– We don’t mind if you mix and match distances, and you can even change distances mid-race!
– You’ll also receive your choice of a plastic cup or water bottle to use at our waterin’ hole. It keeps the trash down, and helps you figure out which drink is yours. We’ll keep it full all day!
– Rather than give you an ill-fitting shirt in a color you hate, we’ve priced these races low so you can add on things like tank tops, tech shirts, and other fun stuff. Or, add nothing, we won’t judge! We do give out swag based on the number of days you run, but none of that swag is a shirt.
– All distances receive a unique medal. How else will people know you went for a run? Complete all five days and receive a special series medal.
– Strollers are permitted. Pets are not. Have you ever seen a dog attack a bowl of banana pudding? We have. It’s not cute.
– Eight hour time limit means walkers, run-walkers, runners, skippers, and crawlers are welcome. There’s no running police here! We’re more concerned about you crossing the finish line, not the amount of time it takes you to get there, so there’s no worries about not “being fast.”
– Free photos will be posted on Facebook at the end of the series. Results will be posted on RunSignup. All races meet all qualifications for Half Fanatics, Marathon Maniacs, and 50 States Club as long as enough runners attend and complete the distance. If you qualify for Half Fanatics or Marathon Maniacs at one of our races, we even have the “I just qualified” signs for you to take a picture with!
– Virtual runners will be mailed all of their swag the week after to the race series. Virtual runners are treated just like in-person runners in terms of swag.
– The most important thing to remember is that our focus is on FUN. Only a handful of people ever have a real chance of winning any race. Our crew caters to the 99% – the ones who will never win but who still deserve an amazing race experience. If you think you’re signing up for an uber-competitive, super-speedy race, we’d suggest you pass on ours and look for something else. But if you like hanging out with fun people, if you like giving or receiving high fives, if you think loud music and cowbells are essential, if you are more worried about having a good time vs. winning, if you like being spoiled, if you like fun surprises, if you want to be with people who truly enjoy your company and want to see you succeed, we hope you join us!
