2026-05-05 – Summer Sprint @ Shaw Park

Join us for the start of the Summer Sprint Series. As we get closer to summer, we move our events to smaller local parks sprint events which are intended to be shorter in length with more fine grained navigation.

For this event, there will be two separate sprints. Everyone can participate in both.

The first will be a traditional sprint – a point to point course that is designed to have winning times between 15-20 minutes. If you are walking the course, it may take as long as 40 minutes.

For those of you who know the race director, he sometimes experiments with other formats during the summer sprint series. This course is only for fun, and the exact details won’t be revealed until the event itself. But – you should bring your GPS tracking device for this event – your Garmin, your Apple watch, or even your phone with an app like Strava or LiveLox.

AND there is more: The SLOC Board spring board meeting will be held at the pavilion directly following the event. (~7:30 pm start) …. See more detail here

Date/Time: May 5, 2026 – 6pm first start

Location: Shaw Park, Clayton, MO

2026-02-28 Tame the Dragon Results

You never know what kind of conditions you’ll get when entering the dragon’s lair. When we last attempted this starting HQ location, the roads were icy and the temps frigid. But this year was one of the best weather days you can get in the month of February. There were 68 intrepid racers joining the quest to placate the mysterious beast. But, alas, the dragon would not be tamed. No one was able to clear the entire course. Though everyone had great adventures and quest-filled stories to share.

Thanks to Gary and Ellen Thompson for all the effort and care they pour into making this event spectacular. The post-race banquet was plentiful, the fleece jackets smartly adorned, and the event details precise. Thank you to all that attended and made this so much fun!
