RUN THE ROCK: AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE AT TOP OF THE ROCK!
Participating in Run the Rock at Top of the Rock (Ridgedale, Missouri, just south of Branson and next to Big Cedar) is pure joy and completely challenging. Nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, this race combines stunning scenery, community spirit, and a sense of personal achievement.
Stunning Scenery
The racecourse takes you through lush valleys, rugged hills, and alongside Table Rock Lake. You experience breathtaking views, with waterfalls, caves, and trails that make every mile a delight while at the same time discovering just what you can get your body to do.
Community Vibes
One of the best things about Run the Rock is the sense of community. Runners from all backgrounds come together, creating a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the warm, welcoming spirit. Runners, volunteers, and spectators cheer each other on, creating a supportive and friendly environment based on a shared appreciation of moving your body.
Don’t be mistaken…It is definitely a humdinger
The 6-mile course is one of the most challenging, rewarding runs you will ever complete. This course is not really meant to be someone’s first 6-mile run. It is hilly, challenging and absolutely beautiful! When you choose to run this, make sure you incorporate hills into your overall training program.
The 3-mile course will share a lot of terrain with the 6-mile run, with waterfalls, a cave and absolutely breathtaking surroundings. This 3-mile run is perfect for those who are new to Run the Rock or want a challenge that provides the perfect combination of beauty and exertion.
