This race is actually 4 races. You can choose to run all 4 that equal 13.1 miles or just do individual races. You can also run them as a team. I had to go to a team as it was my first race back after breaking my ankle.
The first distance is on Friday and is 2.8 miles. Then Saturday morning there’s the 10K, 5K, and 1 mile. Once you complete them you wait for the next one to start. You get a medal for each race and if you complete them all you get an additional medal.
The course is beautiful and runs through the campus and by the stadium. There are some hills but nothing I would call major. It’s Missouri afterall.
