David's Trail Endurance Run

🌧️ Race Postponement Notice

Due to weather the 2026 DTER has been postponed. We're looking at a makeup date in February/March 2026. Stay tuned for updates.

Nothing is locked in, but we're looking at February 28 as the makeup date.

🏞️ Challenge Yourself

• Course Toughness: Touted as one of the toughest 50K courses out there, David's Trail Endurance Run offers a relentless course through the Ozarks along beautiful Lake Norfork.
• Elevation: A great mix of single and double track take you through nearly 5000+ ft. in elevation change for the 50K and which makes for a pretty awesome 25K too!
• Weather Ready: January in the Ozarks could mean sunny 45 degree weather or 10 and snowy. Races are held rain or shine, sleet or snow!
• Post Race: Cash purses for top male/female who break a course record, prizes, and post race grub await you at the finish!

🌲 ATRA Standards

Proud to be a race that Meets ATRA's Event Standards, DTER has taken careful considerations in planning our race from [our] start to finish! Learn all about ATRA's (American Trail Running Association's) standards at www.trailrunner.com.

♻️ We're Cupless!

• Going Green Initiative: Join us in our Going Green initiative! We’ve gone cupless! This counts for both on-course aid stations as well as post race.
• Hand-held Bottles: Bring your hand-held and fill up on us, or during registration you can purchase a HyraPak SpeedCup for $5.00.

🍽️ Chow Down & Drink Up!

• Refuel: All athletes are welcome to refuel from your Saturday run.
• Family & Friends: For friends and family however, we’re selling wrist bands that enable them to eat up too.
• Food Preparation: We don't want to run out of food, so this is our measure to best guesstimate how we’ll need to stock up!
