Ozark Diamond Gauntlet

Ozark Diamond Gauntlet

The Ozark Diamond Gauntlet is an endurance event held at Ballparks National in Lake of the Ozarks, Macks Creek, Missouri, on November 14, 2026. Participants run a 3.1 mile loop and complete as many laps as they can within a chosen time block.

The event offers multiple league options defined by time limits: a single-loop Rec League, and longer timed formats of three hours, six hours, nine hours, and twelve hours. Each lap in the Gauntlet Division includes one to two physical or skill challenges, and at the finish of each lap participants draw a numbered token that determines a surprise obstacle before the next loop. A Pure Running Division is also available; that division is a timed run with no obstacles or mystery draws.

During the twelve-hour league the final three hours become the Night Gauntlet, held in a stadium-lit setting. The venue is described as family and spectator friendly and presents a format that combines timed-loop running with short obstacles and a lap-based surprise element. The event materials list distinct entry fees for different leagues and divisions and indicate open registration windows in advance of the event date.
