How fast is it?

About average for Missouri half marathons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:57:55, against 1:57:25 in a typical Missouri half marathon, so times here are about average.

  • 8K: Slower than most US 8Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 8K field finished under 46:08, against 42:05 in a typical US 8K, so times here run 10 percent slower.
  • 50K: About average for US 50Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 50K field finished under 5:32:18, against 5:37:54 in a typical US 50K, so times here are about average.

Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.

From the organizers

The Frisco Highline Trail connects Springfield to Bolivar, MO; winding 35 miles through the Ozarks. Designated a National Recreation Trail in 2004, it provides a scenic adventure for cyclists, runners, and walkers. Traveling from north to south, you’ll experience 3% elevation gain over the 35-mile trek—with some railroad bridges along the way! The Frisco Highline Trail is managed by Ozark Greenways, the main beneficiary of Frisco Railroad Run proceeds.
