Turkey Trails - St. Louis

Trail Trot on Turkey Ridge is a timed trail race held after Thanksgiving in Wildwood, Missouri, presented by the Saint Louis Track Club. Rather than a set distance, participants select either a 2-hour or 4-hour race, aiming to cover as much distance as possible within their chosen time limit. The event has limited capacity with only 75 entries, and Saint Louis Track Club members receive a $5 reduction. The race route follows a 1.8-mile loop on the Turkey Ridge trail, completed counterclockwise from the starting point and returning to it each lap. Each loop includes 347 feet of elevation gain, making the race demanding despite its short length when run repeatedly. Awards are presented to the leading male and female runners in both the 2-hour and 4-hour race divisions.
