It'll be cold, and there will probably be snow!
Yes there is winter weather in the forecast.
Yes we plan on racing!
This race is not canceled, and at this time zero plan to cancel.
We have successfully held this event through rain, snow, sleet, and less-than-ideal conditions in the past. Trail running is, by nature, an outdoor and unpredictable sport. Unless we are presented with an extreme and unsafe situation outside of what is currently forecasted, the race will go on.
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. A great mix of single and double track takes you through nearly 5000+ ft. in elevation change for the 50K and which makes for a pretty awesome 25K too!
January 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 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.
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.
All athletes are welcome to refuel from your Saturday run. For friends and family, 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 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!
