Due to declining team numbers, and a more hassle free registration process we have decided to do away with the designated TEAM portions of this event. That said we HIGHLY encourage you to twist all your friends arms to join you in our event. This allows folks to no longer have to finish alongside or wait for teammate to get final finish time.

Additionally, we have all intentions to maintain the basic aid station we had the opportunity to host mid course last year again going forward. We still ask you to plan to carry all water and nutritional needs, but this is an added ‘Luxury” we are fortunate to offer everyone!

Event Details

The Devil’s Toll Gate is a 13-mile event across one of the most scenic & rugged landscapes Missouri’s Ozark Trail has to offer. The event traverses from the highest point in Missouri, Taum Sauk Mountain, down past the beautiful Mina Sauk falls and thru the rock formation known as the Devils’ Toll Gate before again climbing over and around Proffit and Wildcat Mountains with a tricky descent past the famous Scour of Taum Sauk reservoir, finishing with an amazing Black river crossing at Johnson Shut-ins State Park.

Prepare to traverse a rough and rugged portion of Ozark Trail where 1,400’ of elevation over 13ish miles may seem like a cake walk, but fear not there is enough rock to keep you rolling, enough hills to keep you panting, a few turns to keep you thinking and when rhythm comes to your stride prepare to lose it again as the rocky and technical terrain will let you know that won’t be happening often!

Prepare for a gorgeous course with some of the most amazing vistas, history and flora/fauna galore. We take you thru the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in an attempt to really put you “out there”
