Specific Information: Race Guidelines/Rules
Aid Stations:
l There will be 12 aid stations on the course. Aid stations
will vary from 5.2 to 9.6 miles apart. All aid stations will be manned (with the possible exception of Aid Stations
1 and 3, which may be unmanned with limited aid) and fully stocked with water, HEED sports drink, and a variety
of food. There will be hot food choices such as soup at night aid stations. (See chart
for locations and distances.) l The sports drink for the race will be HEED, which is being provided by our sponsor Hammer Nutrition.
If you prefer another sports drink or you have any other special dietary needs, please be sure to supply your drop bags with
what you plan to consume during the race. l Aid stations will not provide Advil, Aspirin, or other pain relievers. If you
choose to take the risk of using these medications you must bring your own. l Aid stations will not have blister kits: If you are prone
to blisters, make sure you carry what you need or have what you need in your drop bags to care for them.
Awards:
l
Plaques will be awarded to the first female
and male, overall and masters finishers. l Belt buckles will be awarded to all sub-32 hour finishers.
Course:
l
The entire course is on the
Ozark Trail within the Mark Twain National Forest, which is permanently marked with Ozark Trail markers (overlapping O and
T). There will be additional trail marking where needed for the race in the form of orange and silver striped ribbon,
orange and silver striped ground flags in some locations, and a very few glow sticks entering and leaving aid stations.
There may be a few additional glow sticks placed at additional select locations on the course. The ribbons and flags
will be used primarily at tricky turns and areas where the fixed Ozark Trail markers are sparse. There will be reflective
marking attached to the ribbons used on the sections of trail that will be traversed at night on sections of the trail that
do not have reflective fixed Ozark Trail markers.
Crews:
l
Runners’ crews are not allowed on
the race course. l Runners receiving aid from crews outside the designated crew access points are subject to disqualification
and possibly being banned from future races. (See Aid Station chart for designated crew access points.) Please
note that it is absolutely forbidden to receive aid at road crossings unless designated as a crew access aid station.
This may not only result in disqualification of the runner receiving aid, but in many instances would be very dangerous
due to traffic on the roads. l Crews must PARK ON ONE SIDE OF THE
ROAD ONLY at the crew access aid stations as directed by aid station personnel. Please look for directions/signs
indicating where to park when approaching aid stations. If crews are asked to move a car by aid station or forest service
personnel, they must do so immediately. Please don’t make them ask to have a car moved! The roads on which
the aid stations are placed are for public access and local residents need to have access through these locations, so PLEASE
DO NOT BLOCK THE ROADS by parking or setting up chairs, etc. in the roadway. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: At both Brooks
Creek aid station and Henpeck Hollow aid station, no crew vehicles are allowed to drive past the aid station to turn around
or to park. This creates both a danger for the runners and unnecessary dust for the aid stations workers.
Crew vehicles must park on one side of the road only as directed by aid station personnel in order to avoid congestion.
There will be a designated "NO PARKING" zone located on the road next to the aid station. It is the runner's
responsibility to make sure your crew is aware of these rules. Violation of these rules may result in disqualification
of the runner being crewed by people violating the rules, so please make sure your crew is aware of these rules and abides
by them. l Smoking is NOT allowed by crews or pacers within 300 feet of any aid station. l Crews must abide by the instructions of aid station personnel and race directors.
l
Runners are responsible for their crews
and may be disqualified from the race if their crews refuse to comply with the requests/instructions of aid station personnel
or race directors. l Final crew directions will be available in the runner packets e-mailed to all entrants
about one week prior to the race. A few copies will be available at packet pick-up. Please review these final
crew directions and make sure your crew has a copy of the final crew directions.
Cut-off Times: l Each runner is allowed to set his or her own pace as long as he or she is out of the aid station by the cut-off
time for that aid station. See Aid Station chart for cut-off times. In the event a runner does not leave
an aid station by the stated cut-off time, the runner will be pulled from the race. In the event a runner should choose
to leave an aid station and return to the trail after being told by aid station personnel that they missed the cutoff and
are being pulled from the race, the runner will be disqualified from the race and may be banned from future races.
Drop
Bags:
l
Drop bags must be left at the designated
location at the Bass River Resort on Friday, October 31, 2014 from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Some drop bags will be taken
by aid station crews the evening before the race, therefore all drop bags MUST be delivered to the designated area no later
than 7:00 pm Friday or they will not be available at the aid station. You will NOT be allowed to leave drop bags
at the starting area or at Bass River Resort the morning of the race. All drop bags should be waterproof and sturdy
enough to withstand the rigors of being transported to and from an aid station. Make sure your drop bags are all placed
in the location designated for the aid station where you want the drop bag to be available for your use. You must have
one drop bag for each aid station where you want a drop bag (they will not be transported between aid stations). See
Aid Station chart for designated drop bag locations. Please limit drop bags to a manageable
size and weight, being considerate of aid station personnel and the large number of drop bags they must transport to
and from the aid stations. l You MUST place your NAME, BIB NUMBER, and AID STATION NAME on all drop bags.
If you mark a drop bag for an aid station that is not designated as a drop bag aid station, that drop bag will not be transported
to an aid station.
STARTING LINE GEAR:
Any clothing and/or gear that you need on the bus to the starting line, or while waiting for the race
to start, may be left in a “Drop Bag” marked with your name and race number and the word “START” and
it will be returned to the finish line with the Finish Line drop bags for you to pick up after the race.
FINISH LINE DROP BAG: You
may leave a “Drop Bag” at the finish line at the designated area that will be available for you when you finish
the race.
PLEASE
NOTE: All drop bags MUST be picked up before leaving the race, even if you drop from the race at an aid
station along the course. It is the runner's responsibility to return to race headquarters after drop
bags have been returned to the finish line to pick up their drop bags. All drop bags will be returned to race
headquarters no later than the start of the Awards Ceremony. All drop bags must be picked up no later than 1 hour
following the conclusion of the Awards Ceremony. In the event you forget to pick your drop bags up within
1 hour after the Awards Ceremony, they will still be available until about 7:00 pm (possibly a little later), but
may be consolidated by that time, requiring you to sort through all the drop bags to find yours in the event you have not
picked them up by the designated time. Drop bags from most aid stations will be returned to race headquarters several
hours after the cutoff time for the aid station, however, if you do not want to wait for the Awards Ceremony to
pick up your drop bags, you may need to drive to some aid stations to pick up your drop bags (in which event you may
cross paths on the road with the aid station volunteers returning the drop bags). Drop bags which have
been left behind will not be mailed to runners, so please do not ask. If you must, you may make arrangements to meet
the race director in St. Joseph, Missouri no later that 30 days after the race to PICK UP any drop bags you left behind.
Once again: no drop bags will be mailed, so please do not ask. 30 days after the conclusion of the race,
all remaining drop bag contents will be disposed of.
Medical:
l
Each runner is responsible for their own
actions. It is crucial that you are physically and mentally prepared for the stresses of the race. We will utilize
the local EMS services in case of a medical emergency. Medical expenses incurred are the responsibility of the runner
receiving medical assistance/services. The remoteness of the trail and the distance between trail/road crossings will
result in a substantial amount of time before medical personnel arrive to provide assistance. l It is important for runners to recognize the potential physical and mental stresses
that may evolve from participation in this race. These include, but are not limited to, extreme temperatures of heat
and (more likely) cold, hypothermia, dehydration, hyponatremia, renal failure, seizures, hypoglycemia, disorientation,
total mental and physical exhaustion, etc. Each participant must continuously monitor himself/herself and understand
their limitations. Remember that YOU, the runner, are responsible for your own well being during the race.
Pacing:
l Runners may have a pacer beginning at the Brooks Creek Aid Station. l Runners 60 years and older may have a pacer from the start, but must notify the
race director no later than 6:00 pm on Friday November 1, 2013 of their intention to use a pacer for the entire
race (or for any portion of the race prior to Brooks Creek Aid Station).
l Runners are
allowed to have only one pacer at a time. The only exception to this rule is that runners are allowed to have as many
pacers as they would like from the point where they cross the Courtois Creek, just after entering the Bass River Resort, to
the finish line. ANY RUNNER WHO HAS MORE THAN ONE PACER AT A TIME PRIOR TO CROSSING THE COURTOIS CREEK AT BASS RIVER
RESORT WILL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE RACE. l
No bicycle or equestrian pacing is allowed
anywhere on the course. l Pacers and vehicle/pacer shuttle services are not provided by the race organization.
Additional race rules:
l All runners must wear assigned race numbers. It is the runner’s responsibility
to ensure his/her race number is recorded at all aid stations both when the runner checks in and when the runner checks out.
If your race number is not recorded at an aid station, you may be disqualified for not completing the entire course.
Note that there are two aid stations that require a short out-and-back off the main trail. These are the Highway DD
Aid Station (a left turn off the main trail) and the Berryman Campground Aid Station (a right turn off the main
trail). You MUST enter both aid stations and have your number recorded or you will be disqualified from the race. l At no time may a runner ride in or on a vehicle of any kind. Violators
will be disqualified. If you get off the course, you must return by foot to the point at which you left the trail. l Please do not litter on the course. Violators will be subject to disqualification. l If you drop out of the race, make sure that the aid station captain at an aid station is notified and give the AID STATION
CAPTAIN the pull-tab off your race bib. Failure to do this could result in search and rescue, which will be at runner’s
expense. Please be aware that if you do not drop at Sutton Bluff, Brooks Creek, Highway DD, Hazel Creek, or Berryman
Campground, you could be waiting a long time for transportation back to Race Headquarters. These 5 aid stations will
be the primary aid stations serviced by the shuttle picking up dropped runners. The shuttle will only pick runners up
at the more remote aid stations as time allows, so expect a long wait at those locations (possibly until the aid station shuts
down after the cutoff). l In the event Search
and Rescue is called to search for a runner, the runner will be responsible for all costs associated with such search; therefore,
it is very important that you notify an aid station captain if you find it necessary to drop from the race in order to
avoid the unnecessary dispatch of Search and Rescue teams to look for you in the Forest when you are back safe and sound in
your cabin, tent, or hotel!

2012 RACE REPORT PROVING
GROUNDS ON THE OZARK TRAIL By
Chris Wristen STEELVILLE,
MO. — The European Alps are his training grounds, and many of the world’s top ultra marathons are close to home,
but for Pierre Deragne of Lyon, France, the only option for his first 100-mile race was located about 4,000 miles away in
the middle of the United States. A TRACKER Boats salesman, Deragne made numerous business trips to one of the company’s major
hubs in Springfield, Missouri, in recent years and fell in love with the nearby trails. “I started
to run there a lot and really enjoyed it,” said Deragne, whose previous longest race had been 50 miles. “And when
I chose my first 100-miler I just thought ‘this must be the one!’” Pursuing his passion to the trails
of the Mark Twain National Forest in southeast Missouri proved to be destiny for Deragne. Not only did he complete the 103.1-mile
course, but he did it in record time by navigating the winding bluffs, hollows and leaf-covered rocks and roots in 18:33:34
to break Jeff Browning’s record of 18:38:59 from 2009. For Deragne, the victory capped a day where he established
his position in the top three early, pushed the pace to cover as much ground as possible by daylight, and then weathered a
few lows as he ventured into territory where he’d never pushed his body before. “I had good
fun,” Deragne said of his race experience. “I had a very bad moment from mile 50 to 60, and then up until mile
80 or 81 I was fine. The last 20 were tough.” Deragne also had to overcome what was on track to be a record-setting
day by Nick Lewis. The leader from the start, Lewis opened up a half-hour lead by Highway DD at Mile 50.6. Shortly after leaving
the aid station, however, Lewis stepped on a rock hidden by leaves and injured his left foot. He pushed on for nearly 40 more
miles before dropping from the race. Deragne took the lead at mile 68 and never looked back. Other top performances came
from runner-up Tommy Doias who became a four-time Ozark Trail finisher in 20:07:47; defending champion Kyle Gibbs who placed
third in 20:19:16; Travis Liles who finished fourth in 22:17:53; and Jared Fetterolf who placed fifth in 22:48:25 just three
weeks after winning the Heartland 100. While Deragne’s record-setting performance came on his first try at 100 miles, Katie DeSplinter
had her own record-setting effort in a race that was all about redemption. The Los Angeles resident and native of St. Charles,
Missouri, came to the Ozark Trail 100 in 2010, but dropped after 68 miles. She went on to finish other 100-milers –
including Western States this year – but the DNF at Ozark Trail stuck with her. “It’s the first time
in any race, including high school cross country and track and anything else, that I haven’t finished,” she said.
“That really bothered me.” A motivated DeSplinter made amends with a wire-to-wire victory as
she placed 10th overall and set a women’s course record of 25:10:12. “I cramped
more in the last 20 miles than I ever have in a race, but for 80 miles I was completely enjoying myself,” she said.
“I just wanted to finish, and since that (course record) happened too, that’s an added bonus,” she said.
“ Kristina Tudor took second-place women’s honors by finishing her first 100-miler in 27:23:00. Amanda Jerman
was the third-place female in 28:23:52. Susan Donnelly also turned in a notable performance as the Tennessee resident
claimed first-place masters female honors for the fourth straight year with her time of 28:26:45. Donnelly’s strong
showing came just one week after finishing the Javelina Jundred.
