About this race
Challenge Yourself
- Tough Course: 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 Change: 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!
Weather Preparedness
- Variable Weather: February in the Ozarks could mean sunny 45 degree weather or 10 and snowy.
- Race Conditions: Races are held rain or shine, sleet or snow!
- Stay and Relax: Pack for anything, stay at Rocking Chair Resort, run your race, then hang out afterward.
- Awards: Cash purses for top male/female who break a course record, prizes, and post race grub await you at the finish!
Race Standards
- ATRA Compliance: Proud to be a race that meets ATRA's Event Standards.
- Planning Considerations: DTER has taken careful considerations in planning our race from start to finish!
- Learn More: Learn all about ATRA's (American Trail Running Association's) standards at www.trailrunner.com.
Going Green Initiative
- Cupless Event: Join us in our Going Green initiative! We’ve gone cupless for both on-course aid stations as well as post race.

Chow Down & Drink Up!
- Refueling: All athletes are welcome to refuel from your Saturday run.
- Wristbands: For friends and family, we’re selling wrist bands that enable them to eat too.
