Build my planAbout this race
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.
