# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Run With The Wind
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 am
- **Event Description**: 42nd Edition of this Missouri's iconic point-to-point 25K road race!!

Only USATF-Certified 25K point-to-point race in MO.
Run Solo or in Relay Teams of 3 participants.

To make the race distance accessible to all ages and capabilities, the relay legs are NOT evenly split. There is an 8 mile, a 2 mile and a 5.5 mile leg. Get a family team together, or a few friends with different capabilities, and create your team (all male, all female or mixed).

Here is why this race is special (and easier to run in colder temperatures):
The race direction is decided the day before the race by gauging the wind direction on race day. Based on the next day's weather report, we post the start/finish point on our Facebook event page the afternoon prior to race day.

On race day, meet and park at finish line from where we will provide transportation to the starting line. You can also organize your own transportation.
Driving along with your runners or relay team and cheering them on along the way is allowed and encouraged.

Start/Finish points are
Sarcoxie High School, 101 S. 17th Street, Sarcoxie, MO 64862
Carthage High School, 2600 S. River, Carthage, MO 64836
