You should bring a light source and back up batteries. At this time of year\, the average sunrise is 6:45 AM and the average sunset is 6:00 PM. \nWhat do I need to bring? At very minimum\, all racers will be required to carry a water bottle or hydration pack AND a light (flashlight or headlamp). Due to the remote nature of parts of the trail\, runners will not be allowed on the course without a way to carry water. We strongly suggest you carry a backup light with you at all times. \nHow tough is the course? Terrain = hilly\, total climb between 50 and 150 feet per mile (2500 – 7500 feet in 50 miles)\, Surface = trail or dirt road with substantial rocks\, roots and/or ruts \n  \nPacing & Safety Runners\n\nDue to the remote nature of sections of the course\, pacers will be allowed during portions of the race. Safety runners can be picked/switched at crewable aid stations in the pacing sections. Runners 60 years and older may have a safety runner from the start with permission from the Race Director prior to the race. Runners may only have one safety runner at a time. \n100k Safety Runners can be picked up/switched out at the following aid stations: Brady Mountain Road (return trip ONLY – approx mile 37) and Crystal Springs Pavilion (approx mile 48). \n100 Mile Safety Runners can be picked up/switched out at the following aid stations: Brady Mountain Road (1st crossing – approx mile 57.5)\, Avery Recreation Area (east end – approx mile 64.5)\, Brady Mountain Road (return trip – approx mile 71.5)\, Crystal Springs Pavilion (approx mile 82.5)\, Charleton (return trip – approx mile 87). \n  \nDrop Bags\n\nDrop bags are reasonably sized boxes or bags containing your personal items to resupply you during the race. Items you bring will be distributed to the following aid stations: Start/Finish; Tompkin’s Bend (100 Mile ONLY!); Crystal Springs Pavilion; Spillway. Refer to the chart below for approx. mileage. Drop bags MUST be labeled be labeled with YOUR NAME\, YOUR RACE NUMBER and the AID STATION NAME.

All uncollected items will be donated the week after the race. \n  \nAid Stations\n\n(locations and accommodations available at runlovit.com/course) \nAid stations will have standard ultra food (bananas\, pretzels\, potatoes\, chips\, water\, Tailwind Nutrition\, etc.). If you have special dietary restrictions\, please plan accordingly. \n  \nLodging\n\nOfficial Race Lodging Sponsor: Mountain Harbor Resort – Arkansas’s #1 rated resort (race starts & finishes on Mountain Harbor Resort Property) Special rates available to race participants: http://www.mountainharborresort.com/ \nShangri La Resort (6 miles west of race start/finish): http://www.shangrilaresortar.com/ \nCrystal Springs Resort (12 miles east of race start/finish): http://www.crystalspringsresort.com/ \nBrady Mountain Resort (20 miles east of race start/finish): http://bradymountainmarina.com/ \nCamping: Mountain Harbor Resort will allow tent camping at the start finish area for a fee. Access to bathrooms and showers are available. No electricity or water hookups. \nLots of hotel options in Hot Springs (27 miles east of race start/finish) \n  \nCancellation Policy\n\nIf forces beyond our control lead to the cancellation of this event\, it is possible that you will receive no refund of your entry fee. We will\, however\, endeavor to issue refunds or make other compensation to the extent funds are available to do so. \nThe occurrences that can cause a race cancellation are not predictable. Cancellations could potentially occur when there is a serious threat to the safety of runners and volunteers such as forest fires\, severe winter weather\, tornadoes\, or in the event of a national emergency. These generally occur with little advance notice. As race organizers\, we are at the mercy of these events. Run LOViT Endurance Events is a volunteer\, non-profit organization. Our events are costly because they provide quality support\, apparel\, and awards. We cannot absorb all of these costs and take the risk of cancellation by ourselves. Consequently\, the effect of our policy is that the entrants to an event must share in the risk that it will be cancelled. Please understand this when you enter our event. \nHere is the policy we expect to follow when a case is subject to cancellation. Each situation is different so these are only guidelines. \nKeeping You Informed: We will try to keep entrants informed when there is a potential for cancellation. We will likely use email\, Facebook\, Twitter and our website to do this. \nReimbursement: In the event that a race is cancelled\, we cannot promise any refund. We will first pay all outstanding bills associated with the event that we cannot cancel or legally avoid. If there is money left over after paying the expenses we have incurred\, we will try to make a reimbursement to runners from the remaining entry fees available to us. The closer the cancellation is to the race date\, the less likely there will be any reimbursement and if a race is stopped while in progress\, there will be no reimbursement. If the amount of the refund is small\, we may not bother with it\, or we may only give credit toward future entry fees. \nRescheduling: Rescheduling the event is unlikely given the complexity of putting on an ultra or trail run\, and that there are other events scheduled for other weekends\, but may be done on a case by case basis. If we do reschedule\, we will not likely be able to give you a refund if you withdraw from the event. \nIf I need to cancel my entry due to injury\, illness or scheduling conflict\, can I get a refund? See the refund schedule policy at www.runlovit.com/details.

Access to bathrooms and showers are available. No electricity or water hookups. \nLots of hotel options in Hot Springs (27 miles east of race start/finish) \n  \nCancellation Policy\n\nIf forces beyond our control lead to the cancellation of this event\, it is possible that you will receive no refund of your entry fee. We will\, however\, endeavor to issue refunds or make other compensation to the extent funds are available to do so. \nThe occurrences that can cause a race cancellation are not predictable. Cancellations could potentially occur when there is a serious threat to the safety of runners and volunteers such as forest fires\, severe winter weather\, tornadoes\, or in the event of a national emergency. These generally occur with little advance notice. As race organizers\, we are at the mercy of these events. Run LOViT Endurance Events is a volunteer\, non-profit organization. Our events are costly because they provide quality support\, apparel\, and awards. We cannot absorb all of these costs and take the risk of cancellation by ourselves. Consequently\, the effect of our policy is that the entrants to an event must share in the risk that it will be cancelled. Please understand this when you enter our event. \nHere is the policy we expect to follow when a case is subject to cancellation. Each situation is different so these are only guidelines. \nKeeping You Informed: We will try to keep entrants informed when there is a potential for cancellation. We will likely use email\, Facebook\, Twitter and our website to do this. \nReimbursement: In the event that a race is cancelled\, we cannot promise any refund. We will first pay all outstanding bills associated with the event that we cannot cancel or legally avoid. If there is money left over after paying the expenses we have incurred\, we will try to make a reimbursement to runners from the remaining entry fees available to us. The closer the cancellation is to the race date\, the less likely there will be any reimbursement and if a race is stopped while in progress\, there will be no reimbursement. If the amount of the refund is small\, we may not bother with it\, or we may only give credit toward future entry fees. \nRescheduling: Rescheduling the event is unlikely given the complexity of putting on an ultra or trail run\, and that there are other events scheduled for other weekends\, but may be done on a case by case basis. If we do reschedule\, we will not likely be able to give you a refund if you withdraw from the event. \nIf I need to cancel my entry due to injury\, illness or scheduling conflict\, can I get a refund? See the refund schedule policy at www.runlovit.com/details.

SUMMARY:Expedition Ozark 2024
DESCRIPTION:Expedition Ozark will be a true test of endurance\, teamwork and mental toughness. Teams (2-4 members) will have 5 days to complete a course covering the Northwest Arkansas region of the Ozarks. \nThe Ozarks is becoming one of the premier outdoor recreation locations in the country and this race showcases why. Rolling mountains\, awe-inspiring rivers\, incredible vistas and unforgiving terrain attract adventure seekers of all kinds and are the perfect setting for a multi-day adventure race. \nThe inaugural 2023 course showcased the region’s best rivers\, lakes\, hiking trails and of course the world renowned single track biking trails. The 2024 version will highlight many of the same qualities by going even further into the Ozarks backyard! Gravel and forest roads will connect National Forests and State Parks to quaint Ozark communities. \nThis course will test even the best racers with challenging navigation\, steep ascents and unpredictable Spring weather. Racers will find their limits physically and mentally\, and will be inspired by the powerful vistas\, 300’ bluffs and the life in the Ozark waterways in springtime.
