About this race
Challenge Yourself
Touted as one of the toughest 50K courses out there, David's Trail Endurance Run offers a relentless course though the Ozarks along beautiful Lake Norfork. 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!
February in the Ozarks could mean sunny 45 degree weather or 10 and snowy. Races are held rain or shine, sleet or snow! Pack for anything, stay at Rocking Chair Resort, run your race, then hang out afterward. Cash purses for top male/female who break a course record, prizes, and post race grub await you at the finish!
Proud to be a race that Meet's 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!
Join us in our Going Green initiative! We've gone cupless! This counts for both on-course aid stations as well as post race. 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!
All athletes are welcome to refuel from your Saturday run. For friends and family however, we’re selling wrist bands that enable them to eat up too. We don't want to run out of food, so this is our measure to best guesstimate how we'll we need to stock up!
Part of our Going Green Initiative is to reduce waste every chance we get! For the post race feast, everyone is required to bring their own plates, cups, utensils, etc. We may have some to sell, but we won't be providing any paper or plastic goods. Thank you for helping us Go Green!
