Last Chance Ultra
The Last Chance Ultra returns for year five on December 5, 2026, at a private event site near Rogersville, Missouri, just outside Springfield. The event offers multiple timed trail distances that use a common start and finish area called Base Camp.
Base Camp serves as the start and finish for all races and provides space for racers and crews to set up gear, chairs, and food. Every lap of the course returns to Base Camp. The event site address is 6176 S State Hwy VV, Rogersville, MO 65742. Coordinates are 37.09656183097014, -93.06811863588234.
The course is a two mile loop on well maintained trails, gravel, and some pavement. The loop design means runners repeatedly pass the start and finish areas. One aid station will operate at the start/finish area; participants are expected to carry necessary supplies. Packaged electrolytes will be available at the main aid station.
Available distances:
- 10 miles
