2027 Flat Branch Ultra

Race Information

The Flat Branch Ultra offers cash prizes for the overall male and female winners on its fast, USATF-certified 50K course in Columbia, Missouri. This rails-to-trails event follows the MKT and Katy Trails, passing the historic 400-year-old Bur Oak that serves as the inspiration for the race's logo. Following a record-breaking 2026 race where Matt Chan and Jessalyn Sadler set new state records, this high-stakes event is limited to 125 participants and is expected to sell out quickly.
