Berryman Trail Races

05/23/2026

If you left a drop bag or gear at 26th Annual Berryman 50 Mile and Marathon Trail Races, we've got it! I'll bring them to St. Louis Ultrarunners Group (SLUGS) Saturday group runs if you want to pick them up in person, or reach out and we can mail them -- you'll just need to cover the shipping. Message here or email [email protected].

Also, runner #116's drop bag was a charger cord and a handful of starburst. That's our kind of people!

Official race results are up! Thank you to Final Lap Racing for doing an awesome job and a long day's work. FYI, we had some age group awards that we missed handing out -- we'll be dropping those in the mail!

If you're curious, the 50 Mile distance had a 46% drop down/DNF rate. We started with 69 runners, and 37 made it the full distance. If you dropped after the first loop (but made the cutoff), you're listed as an unofficial marathon finisher.

Not a lot of photos from the race directors (that's why we hire Mile 90 Photography! 😆), but what an incredible weekend. The weather was tricky -- that humidity was no joke -- but y'all came out and crushed it!

Thank you all for coming out to support our race for its 26th year. And a huge THANK YOU to all our amazing volunteers. This race (along with all the St. Louis Ultrarunners Group (SLUGS) races) is 100% volunteer supported and it can't be done without kind folks who want to help others do incredibly hard things. ❤️

We hope you're recovering well (RD Deirdre is definitely not laying on the couch watching Netflix and eating leftover peanut M&Ms while writing this 😆) and we hope to see you at another race soon!

What good is an ice bandana without ice? The folks at Walmart gave me some looks, so I told them I was throwing a huge party. Hey, I'm not wrong! 😆🎉🏃‍♀️🌲

Packet pickup and on-site registration is today from 2-5 pm at the Berryman campground. See you soon!

Despite what they think (and their cuteness), Mr. Crowley and Anya are not coming to the 26th Annual Berryman 50 Mile and Marathon Trail Races. 😆🐶🐱

Online registration has ended, but on-site registration runs from 2-4 pm tomorrow and starting at 5 am Saturday at the Berryman campground. The cost is $150 and cash is highly recommended -- cell service is spotty, so we can't guarantee electronic payment.
