ABOUT

​FINLEY RIVER RACES is a series of events for all types of athletes. We host 5k's, 10k's, Triathlons, Open Water Swims, Cycling and Mountain Bike races, and we’re even planning on including Paddle Boarding in the future! 
Here in the midwest, we’re known for our genuinely pleasing and kind demeanours, but our weather has a whole other side; often unpredictable and extreme. We believe that EVERY SEASON is RACE SEASON!  Nothing stops us!... No rain, snow, heat, or wind will prevent us from moving forward with a planned event.  
We strive to put on premier races right here in our beautiful setting in the Ozark Mountains, in Ozark, MO.  We vow that our races possess the quality that will draw in elite athletes as well as first timers.

OUR VISION

FINLEY RIVER RACES exists to support our local parks, waterways, and the idea that "Everyone Can Play". FINLEY RIVER RACES supports the planned ALL INCLUSIVE PARK coming soon to Ozark, MO.   This park has been designed and is being built specifically to give children the tools that they need so that all children, including those with special needs, can play together.  We believe that no child should feel any boundaries when it comes to play.  These boundaries sometimes include gravel, grass, stairs, etc.  The City of Ozark’s planned Inclusive Playground is a greatly needed addition to our community and city to serve the near 1,500 individuals with developmental disabilities.
