2021 Registration is open!!

DTER is a cupless race!               BYO post race plates/cups/etc.!

January 22 - 23, 2021

David's Trail Endurance Run offers a challenging course through the Ozarks along beautiful Norfork Lake.  A great mix of single and double track takes you through 5000+ ft. in elevation change for the 25K and and even more for the 50K.   Proceeds benefit trail expansion and K12 activities, spreading the word of loving the outdoors!

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!
​
Friday Night!  Cruise the trail (and stay on it!) via headlamp, glow sticks, or even a disco ball as you navigate the newly added 5K "Adventure Hike" the night before you tackle the whole course!  Friday events begin at 7:00 pm!

January in the Ozarks can mean sunny 45 degree weather or 10 and snowy.  2017 race day was sunny and reached about 70, 2019 was snowy and almost miserable!  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!
Location
Course runs through Robinson Point, Panther Bay, and Bidwell parks on David's Trail along Norfork Lake in Mountain Home, Arkansas.
