Beaumont Scout Reservation Property Disclaimer distance & elevation course

  We are incredibly thankful of the Greater St. Louis Boy Scouts for allowing us to use their property for our event. That being said our course is 100% on their private property monitored by their rangers and staff year round. We have worked hard to build and maintain working relationships with them and look to keep our good standing in their eyes when it comes to our event and users of the trails.  We highly encourage you to only utilize the trails when allowable by the scouting groups or during our previews / the event(s) themselves. Outside of these times we cannot guarantee the trails condition, with seasonal growth during summer and heavy leaf cover / downed trees yearly to early winter. Additionally, using our name as your reason for being on property without our awareness is highly discouraged. Please help us keep our event on these mystical trails!

Our Course

Full 20 mile loop Course map

Details

Google Maps - click for detailed mapping layout of campus


The course is set up as 5 legs ranging from 3.3-5.3 miles encompassing one 20mi loop(run 1x for 20mi, 2x for 40mi, 3x for 100k, 5x for 100mi)


The course switches directions each year running clockwise on odd years, counterclockwise on even years.

There will be 2 indoor aid stations on the course which you will venture through multiple times. The Start/Finish which no matter the direction is met two times per 20 miles. The second and larger of the aid stations is Sverdrup which both directions is seen 3 times per 20 miles. 

In turn you get 4 aid stations within each 20 miles. 


Each leg varies from the others offering steep climbs, ridgeline running, long and short steep descents as well as creek bottoms, pine floor, and jeep roads with approx. 75% single/double track, 25% jeep roads. 


We may not have the mountains to climb but we do boast several 35-40% grade climbs, all of which will only last .10-.30 miles.


Our course is marked with PINK ribbon attached to limbs via clothespins(some reflective/some non) additional PINK ground flags will be used in open area, turns or where additional marking is needed. Within the course there may be junctures at which PINK ribbon may be strung between trees to limit wrong direction travel. 

We will also mark any leg junctures/turns with signage detailing left. straight, or right where needed and lastly we may add a few "X" or "WRONG WAY" signs on overlaps of trails to ensure the correct travel direction continues when legs split.


All other trail markers, whether paint on trees or permanent signage on/in trees should be ignored

 The Sverdrup aid station will shut down at 2pm Sunday, all runners must be on leg 4(odd years)and leg 5(even years) by this time. If you do not complete leg 3 on your final loop by 1:00pm there is a strong chance you will not make the final cutoff, please consider this as the day goes on.

We mark our course with PINK ribbon & reflective tape on the bottom using clothespins. These will always be on your right, unless the legs overlap therefore they will be on both sides of trail opposite of each other.

Additionally, we use ground flags in open areas like powerlines and turns where trees are not an option.
