Are you ready to race hard and relax even harder? Then, welcome to Miner Tough Weekend, an epic two-day celebration of trail running, mountain biking, and family fun — July 5 and 6 at the stunning St. Joe State Park in Parks Hills, just south of St. Louis in Missouri’s historic Leadbelt region.

Miner Tough Weekend is more than a race — it's a community. It’s the sound of cowbells and cheers in the woods. It’s swapping stories over campfires. It’s families, friends, and athletes coming together to push limits and share in something truly memorable.

Brought to you by Missouri Mudders, a nonprofit organization that sponsors and manages competitive off-road motorcycling and fitness events in the Show Me State.

🏃‍♂️ Saturday, July 5 – Trail Running Day

Lace up for a day of pure trail running bliss. Choose from multiple race distances designed to challenge every runner — from seasoned half-marathoners to first-timers.

Courses traverse a scenic network of singletrack trails, winding through Midwest hardwood forests, towering pine stands, rugged creek beds, and challenging climbs to the park’s highest points.

With well-placed water stations, a refreshment zone at the finish line, and the backdrop of Monsanto Lake, this is more than a race — it’s an experience.

🚵 Sunday, July 6 – Mountain Bike Racing

Bring your bike (and your grit) for a full day of MTB action. Sunday’s schedule includes marathon-length races, skill-level categories, youth divisions, and a kids race, so there’s something for every type of rider.

Expect flowy singletrack, steep climbs, technical sections, adrenaline-pumping descents, and a ride-through culvert — all carved into the heart of a historic mining landscape.

🏕️ More Than Just Racing – A Full Weekend of Fun!

Whether you’re racing, cheering, or relaxing by the fire, Miner Tough Weekend offers something for everyone:

- On-site camping available all weekend — wake up surrounded by nature and trail energy
- Family-friendly atmosphere with open space for kids to explore
- Post-race hangouts by Monsanto Lake — swim, cool off, or just kick back
- Music and community vibes to celebrate each day's victories

👉 Register today at https://www.bikereg.com/minertoughweekend and join us at Miner Tough Weekend on July 5 and 6 for a weekend of dirt, determination, and unforgettable moments.
