HISTORY: Three Creeks Torrent Trail Runs is a race sponsored by v that takes place at Three Creeks Conservation Area, about ten minutes south of Columbia, Missouri. The area is unique in that the land was originally largely owned and worked in 40 and 80 acre parcels purchased by freed slaves following the Civil War. Some former homesteads are even still visible today.
COURSE: The course is an approximate 10 mile loop. It is about 80% single track trail and 20% jeep/gravel road, with a variety of terrain. There are approximately ten creek crossings per loop, so you will get wet. There is about 950 feet of elevation gain per loop.
RACE HEADQUARTERS: Three Creeks Conservation Area trailhead at the end of Deer Park Road (Three Creeks Parking). Please be sure to navigate to this specific trailhead, as other locations you may find on Google will take you elsewhere.
TIME LIMIT: The time limit to complete the course is 8 hours for the 30 mile, 7 hours for the 20 mile, and 6 hours for the 10 mile. 20 mile runners must start their final loop by 11:30 a.m., and 30 mile runners must start their final loop by 12:30 p.m. The cutoff at the Tomlin trailhead aid station is 2:00 p.m. All races will end at 3:00 p.m.
AID: 2 aid stations (start/finish at Deer Park Road trailhead and on the course at Tomlin Hill trailhead) stocked with a variety of food, water and drinks. Two port-a-potties will be available at the start/finish area and another at the Tomin Hill aid stations approximately 5.5 miles on the course. 30 and 20 mile racers can leave a drop bag at the start to access before their second and third loops. PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL BE A CUP FREE EVENT. All runners must carry a water bottle or hydration pack.
POST-RACE: Food will be available as runners finish. Have your bib number with you to receive a meal. Someone will mark your bib to indicate you’ve eaten once.
