Lake of the Ozarks Endurance Runs
The Lake of the Ozarks Endurance Runs is a multi-race event held at Lake of the Ozarks State Park in Kaiser, Missouri, with start and finish at Public Beach #1. The event offers four distinct races:
- LOZ Traverse : approximately 32 miles running and 3 miles paddling

- Trail of Four Winds 25K : heavy trail 25K with technical terrain
- Wandering Bobcat 5 Miler : heavy course about 5.5 miles with roughly 700 feet of elevation gain
The LOZ Traverse is a solo run-and-paddle course; participants must provide their own kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddle board and wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket. The Traverse follows the Trail of Four Winds segment, includes multiple running sections on single track, and returns to the beach transition area. Dogs are not allowed on any course.
Aid stations are located at several mile points on the courses and a drop bag location is at the start/finish for the LOZ Traverse. There is a 4.5 hour cutoff to finish the Four Winds side and an overall 11 hour cutoff. Packet pickup is available race day only. Finisher and overall awards are given and recipients must be present to accept them. Photographs will be taken and posted at no charge. Registration fees vary by race and option. No refunds are issued for cancellation or postponement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
