Embark on an unforgettable team adventure at the KT82 Trail Relay on June 6, 2026, starting in St. Louis County, Missouri, and concluding with a celebratory finish in Hermann City Park. This 82-mile epic challenges teams of 3 or 6 runners to conquer Missouri's stunning trails, primarily along the renowned Katy Trail. Runners will experience a unique mix of scenic vistas, bluffs, views of the Missouri River, and charming wine country vineyards, with some legs featuring more challenging single-track sections in St. Charles County trails. Expect typical race day conditions with highs around 85F and lows around 64F, accompanied by a 16% chance of precipitation, so prepare for varied weather throughout the day.
The KT82 Trail Relay is more than just a race; it's a testament to teamwork and camaraderie. Teams navigate 18 distinct legs, passing a "team belt" as their baton through 17 exchange points. The course is celebrated for its well-organized support and well-stocked transition zones, though runners should plan for personal hydration and nutrition in their support vehicles between legs. Past participants consistently praise the vibrant atmosphere, the sense of accomplishment, and the festive post-race celebration at Hermann City Park, complete with BBQ, beer, wine, and live music. Gather your crew for this exhilarating journey that promises both physical challenge and lasting memories.
