Flat Branch Ultra CoMo to Rocheport Rails-to-Trails 50K

The race starts at 8 AM on the third Saturday in February. This out-and-back course takes runners from Columbia to Rocheport, Missouri, and back.

Expect stunning views of the Missouri River, river bluffs, and keep an eye out for eagles overhead. The Katy Trail is the longest developed rail-trail in the United States.

Start/Finish Line: Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park at 800 West Stadium Blvd, Columbia, Missouri 65203.

Only 125 spots are available, and we anticipate a sellout.

The race is named after Flat Branch Creek, a vital water source for early settlers. The tree in our logo represents the nearly 400-year-old Bur Oak that can be seen about 8.5 miles into the race. At the start, competitors will head southwest on the MKT (Missouri-Kansas-Texas) Trail for about 7.5 miles before intersecting the Katy Trail just west of McBaine. From there, they will head west on the Katy Trail. The Halfway Home aid station is located just east of Rocheport–past the I-70 bridge. This course is an out and back.
