MIDNIGHT Rat Race UNSANCTIONED

Date: October 24th

Start Time: Friday, 11:59pm

Distance: Approximately 13 miles

Time Limit: 3 hours and 15 minutes

Are you ready for a true test of endurance, speed, and grit? Welcome to the MIDNIGHT Rat Race UNSANCTIONED, an event tailored for the hardcore, the brave, and those seeking an unparalleled challenge. This sucker is not for the faint of heart, losers, or whiners out there.

Race Details:

• Start Time: As the clock strikes midnight, the race begins. October 24th marks the date where only the brave will step up to the challenge.

• Course: This race is unique—no course markings, no volunteers, no directions. It’s just you, the night, and your determination. Navigate from point A to point B in the quickest way you can.

• Distance: Approximately 13 miles lie between the start and end locations. How you traverse this distance is up to you.

• Terrain: Sidewalks, roads, alleys, grass—choose your path wisely. The urban landscape of the night is your playground.

• Time Limit: You have a maximum of 3 hours and 15 minutes to reach the finish line, after that- we're calling the cops to head out and look for you.

This race demands strategy, resourcefulness, and resilience. Without the usual race-day amenities and support, you're left to rely on your instincts and abilities. Do you have what it takes to conquer the MIDNIGHT Rat Race UNSANCTIONED?

Note: This event is unsanctioned and presents inherent risks. Participants must prioritize their safety and be aware of their surroundings at all times. This race is for experienced runners who understand and accept the challenge.

Run the loop. Face the test. Draw your fate.

The Ozark Diamond Gauntlet is a brand-new endurance event held at Ballparks National in Lake of the Ozarks. This unique race blends timed-loop running with short, gritty obstacles and a mystery challenge at the end of every lap.

But for runners who want a classic endurance effort without obstacles, we also offer a Pure Running Division — a traditional timed run with zero challenges, zero tricks, and nothing between you and the miles.

You’ll run a 3.1-mile loop as many times as you can within your chosen time block. Each lap features 1–2 physical or skill challenges, and at the finish you’ll draw a numbered token that determines a surprise obstacle before you start the next loop.

As daylight fades, the final 3 hours of the 12 hours transform into the Night Gauntlet—a stadium-lit atmosphere designed for those who want next level!
