About the race
Last Chance Ultra is a multi-distance trail event held December 5, 2026, near Springfield, Missouri. The event base camp at the race site serves as the start/finish area, a place for racers to set up gear, and the location for on-site food during and after the races. The event site address is 6176 S State Hwy VV, Rogersville, MO 65742 (coordinates 37.09656183097014, -93.06811863588234). The course for every distance is a roughly 2 mile loop on maintained trails, gravel, and some pavement.
Every lap returns through base camp and the start/finish line. Elevation change is minimal, approximately 3 feet per 2 mile loop. There is one main aid station at the start/finish area; participants are expected to carry needed supplies and use the aid station for supplemental food and electrolytes, including HYK products. Camping, campers, and vans are permitted on site without hookups; generators are allowed and porta potties are provided.
The nearest hotel listed is the Hilton Garden Inn at 4155 S Nature Way in Springfield. Packet pickup occurs at the race site the morning of the event and requires photo ID; only the registered runner may pick up their packet. Rules emphasize self-sufficiency and safety: runners must travel the course entirely by foot, wear bibs visibly on the front, observe cutoffs (32 hour maximum), and report any race dropout to race staff. Awards include finisher medals or buckles and top three male and female awards for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
