Ozark Diamond Gauntlet

Macks Creek, United States • 14 Nov 2026

Event

The Ozark Diamond Gauntlet is an endurance running event on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Ballparks National in Lake of the Ozarks (480 Kissick Way, Macks Creek, MO 65786). The course uses a 3.1-mile loop. The event pairs timed-loop running with optional short physical or skill challenges and a mystery draw at the end of each lap.

Format and divisions

Participants choose a time block and run the loop as many times as they can within that block. The Gauntlet Division includes 1 to 2 physical or skill challenges per lap and a numbered token draw at each finish that determines a surprise obstacle before the next lap. The Pure Running Division has no obstacles or mystery draws and is a straight timed run. For the 12-hour option, the final three hours take place as a stadium-lit Night Gauntlet.
