SWAG REVEAL!!

🎉 Get ready to celebrate almost a DECADE of night-time running madness! 🎉 The 9th anniversary of Get Your Butt Kicked @ Route 66 is here!

This year, choose your adventure:

💪 6 Hours of Glory: Test your endurance with our classic option. Race starts at 6 p.m. and ends at midnight.
⚡ NEW 3-Hour option: Can't take the heat of the 6-Hour? Check out our new 3-hour race, starting at 7:30 p.m. and ending at 10:30 p.m.

The GYBK course is flat and wide, and the low-pressure environment makes it a great option for anyone wanting to dip their toes into the world of ultrarunning. But flat doesn't mean easy -- the heat and humidity of Missouri in mid-July can take down even the most experienced runners. 🥵

Don't miss out on the party! Registration opened today! 👇
