The North Face Shaw Bloom Trail 10k/20k is on pause for 2026. Check back with us throughout the year for announcements about the race for 2027. 

Keep the trail miles rolling with your choice of a 10k or 20k Trail Run through through one of eastern Missouri’s most beautiful locales, the Shaw Nature Reserve in Gray Summit, Mo.

The 10k loop course features a little bit of everything trail running has to offer: from grass meadows to gravel hiking paths, rocky single-track to dirt roads, steep cliffs to rolling hills, and even a boardwalk above a lily-filled lake! Tackle it twice if you feel like doing the 20k!

One of the most beautiful trail runs in eastern Missouri. Discover nearly all that Shaw Nature Reserve has to offer in one stunning morning!

T-shirts, medals, beer, Great Harvest snacks, 4 Hands Brewing Co. Beer and more.

Race capacity, age limits, pace limits and more.

One of Eastern Missouri’s most beautiful locales, and quite possibly the most picturesque trail run host in the Midwest.

Like many of the the Off-Road Racing League events, The North Face Shaw Bloom Trail 10k/20k is regulated by a strict number of runners we can allow on the trails for the safety of the participants and the protection of the natural lands. For 2024, the good folks at Missouri Botanical Gardens and the Shaw Nature Reserve have asked us to keep our maximum capacity at 500 runners. If you’re interested in running (and we hope you are!), please keep that in mind and register as quickly as you can to ensure a spot on this year’s roster.
