This is a cupless event! Aid stations are stocked, but you will need your own handheld, reservoir, or purchase a HydraPak Speed Cup for yourself! Cupless Racing Sponsored by HydraPak!
January in the Ozarks can mean sunny 45 degree weather or 10 and snowy. 2017 race day was sunny and reached about 70 degrees, 2019 was a blizzardy mess! Race is held rain or shine, sleet or snow! Pack for anything, stay at Rocking Chair Resort, run the race, then hang out us afterward. Cash purses for setting the 50K course record (male & female), prizes, and post-race grub await you at the finish!
