Welcome to the GO! St. Louis KT82 Trail Relay — your next great adventure!
The KT82 is a team relay run of approximately 82 miles, spanning from Maryland Heights Aquaport in St. Louis County to Hermann, MO. The route includes 17 exchange points between start and finish. The Katy Trail provides a unique and special racing venue.
Due to the nature of the trail and limited parking at the exchange zones, a staggered start will be utilized. Accurate team pace data is critical for construction of the staggered start. In general terms, slower teams start earlier and faster teams start later. This approach is essential to guarantee daylight arrival of all teams in Hermann.
Again this year, the GO! St. Louis staff had a great time testing out the course by running many of the legs as well as scouting out all of the exchange zones to ensure a great day for all of you. There were a lot of “high fives” between the legs and a big finale in Hermann. We assure you this event will be a great team experience! Good Luck and enjoy!

Race bib transfer must be officially completed through GO! St. Louis and the online registration system prior to the race. Unauthorized race bib transfer is prohibited. While the practice of giving your race bib to someone else, may seem harmless, it can result in serious consequences to both parties involved. It’s an issue of false identity and a liability issue. Why? The most important reason is that your race bib is attached to your identity, so if an emergency occurs that requires medical attention or a race official must identify a participant, we need to have accurate information. In addition, finisher awards may be impacted. If race organizers identify an individual who has given their race bib to another person, it will result in disqualification and a minimum two-year ban for both individuals for any GO! St. Louis race.
