FLEET FEET Sports is excited to announce the return of the Quivering
Quads (QQ) trail race at Cuivre River State Park!
Read about the 2010 Race
In 1994, FLEET FEET Sports hosted the inaugural Quivering Quads
Trail Runs within the boundaries of beautiful Cuivre River State
Park. The unique event incorporated race distances of 10 kilometers,
13.1 miles, 50 kilometers and 50 miles. 175 runners entered the
inaugural event – which immediately became a fixture on the St.
Louis area’s running calendar. By 1998, QQ was attracting the
maximum field of 400 entrants, making it the largest trail run in
Missouri and an event of some national prominence. The race was
regularly featured in Ultrarunning Magazine and earned mention in
Kirk Johnson’s 2001 book To the Edge, which documented the world of
ultramarathoning. The race went into hiatus after 2003’s 10th annual
event so that FLEET FEET could attend to the growth of their
Lewis & Clark Marathon and Half Marathon.
On Sunday, March 21st, 2010, QQ returns to the race calendar as the
Quivering Quads Trail Half Marathon.
