Wild In the Woods Trail Run

The St. Charles County Parks Department is hosting its 10th Annual Wild in the Woods Trail Run Series this year.  On Sept. 17, Oct. 8, Oct. 22, and Nov. 5, participants will compete in these off-road races, while running through four different St. Charles County Parks.  If pre-registered, a fee of $25 for a single race or $85 for the series will apply.  Prizes will be awarded to top men and women in their age group. 

“Our Wild in the Woods races really tests a runner’s strength and character,” said Bettie Yahn-Kramer.  “These races can be challenging, yet fun and exciting, as runners make their way through paved and natural-surface trails throughout our parks.”

  • Oct. 22 at Indian Camp Creek Park, 2679 Dietrich Road near Wentzville, features varied terrain with a few hills.  The 10-mile course, travels over paved and natural-surface trails.  The race will begin at 9 a.m. at the Lakeside Pavilion in the Park. 
  • Nov. 5 at Broemmelsiek Park, 1615 Schwede Road, south of O’Fallon, runners travel a five-mile course over multi-use trails and through prairies.  The race will begin at 9 a.m. at Shelter # 6.
