The 24 Hour Lions Roar is a 6/12/24 hour race that is run on a 2.5 mile loop course that includes the Championship Cross Country Course, which was just awarded the 2025 NCAA Cross Country Championship, at Gans Creek Recreation Area in Columbia, MO. This event is a fundraiser that helps raise money for Pascale's Pals, a local volunteer organization that benefits the children and families staying at the Children's Hospital in Columbia, MO. 100% of all proceeds from the event goes to Pascale's Pals. If you enjoy running events where like minded people come together in a high energy atmosphere then you will want to work this into your calendar.
