About the David's Trail Endurance Run 50K
This Ozarks trail race runs on David's Trail along the shore of Lake Norfork near Mountain Home, with the 50K as the headline distance beside 25K and 7K options. It has a reputation as one of the tougher 50K courses in the region, and cash bonuses for course records give the front of the field something to chase.
Course
The 50K follows single and double track along the lakeshore through Robinson Point, Panther Bay, and Bidwell parks, with constant short climbs that add up to nearly 5,000 feet of elevation change. Footing turns rocky in stretches, and the repeated grades reward strong hikers as much as fast runners.
Race-day weather
Late February in the Ozarks is unpredictable. Race day can be sunny and in the 40s or bring snow, sleet, and temperatures near 10, and the race runs in all of it. Layers and a plan for cold, wet feet are smart.
