Last Chance Ultra
Last Chance Ultra is a multi-distance trail event held December 5, 2026, just outside Springfield, Missouri. Distances offered include:
- 50k
- 50 mile
- 100k
- 100 mile
- 10 mile
The races use an approximately 2 mile loop on maintained trails, gravel, and some pavement. Every lap returns to Base Camp, which serves as the Start/Finish for all races and as the main area for crews, gear, and post‑race food. One aid station is located at the Start/Finish area and will offer supplemental food and electrolytes; participants should plan to be largely self supported.
Event rules require runners to complete the course on their own power and within the official 32 hour cutoff for all distances. Pacers must be at least 18 years old, run on foot, and may join a runner starting halfway through the event; only one pacer is allowed with a runner at a time. Crews and pacers must follow race staff directions and the published course etiquette.
On-site camping is permitted without hookups; generators are allowed and porta potties are provided. Nearest hotel listed is Hilton Garden Inn at 4155 S Nature Way, Springfield. Event site address is 6176 S State Hwy VV, Rogersville, MO 65742 with coordinates 37.09656183097014, -93.06811863588234.
Awards include a finisher medal or buckle depending on distance, top three male and female awards per distance, and a dead last finisher award. The Double Tap Challenge awards a wooden engraved frame for completing two races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
