I Double Ogg Dare You!
One of the most challenging races in the Midwest! A race on Ogg Rd, a half mile paved road with approximately 200 feet of climb, making each trip up and down a mile. A long time hill training favorite of KC locals, this is your chance to challenge yourself on our favorite hill! 3 hour and 6 hour race distances. Each lap gives you 1.1 mile, see how many you can fit in in your chosen time!
8am start, limited to 175 entrants total. Chip timed, full aid station, medical staff on site. Prizes for top 3 women, men, and non-binary finishers in each distance!
Race Description
The race starts at the top of Ogg road in the parking lot. Run down to the base of the road, just before Midland drive, turn around and run back up, up, up. Turn around will be marked and volunteers will direct you. Circle through the parking lot and cross over the timing mat. Each lap consists of 1.1 mile, and has approximately 200ft of gain. Runners will run as many laps as they can in a 3 or 6 hour period. Only full laps count, and laps stop being counted at the 3 and 6 hour mark. Race is held rain or shine but will be delayed, paused or canceled in the event of lightning.
Timing
The race will be chip timed by Show-Me Running Company. Chips are worn on your shoes. You must cross over the timing mat for your laps to count. If you do not cross over the timing mat, or wear your chip, laps will not count. Race Directors will have final say over any discrepancy or problems.
Aid Station
There will be one aid station in the start/finish area in the parking lot at the top of Ogg road. Water, Tailwind, pringles, candy, sandwiches, Coke, Ginger Ale, Mountain Dew, cookies, saltines, pretzels, and other assorted snacks. Vegan and gluten free options will be available. Pizza will be available for 6 hour runners and volunteers between 12 and 1pm. First aid, vaseline, bug spray, sunscreen, wipes also available. Runners will be allowed to set up mini aid station areas for themselves around the start finish in a designated area. We suggest bringing a chair! This is a CUPLESS event; see rules for specifications.
Race Rules
No poles allowed, but please contact the RD if medical/extenuating circumstances exist.
No pacers allowed. No unregistered people are allowed past the marker cone at the top of Ogg Road. Crew and friends allowed at start/finish area and at the top part of Ogg only. Ogg Road is narrow and we need the entire road for our runners. Please be mindful of our timing people and the aid station and stay out of their way.
No alcohol (this is a park rule, please don’t get us into trouble).
Personal music devices are allowed as long as headphones are used and you maintain a volume that allows you to hear other runners. We recommend either one earbud only or bone conduction headphones. If we receive complaints, the RD reserves the right to ask you to turn off your music. No speakers.
No dogs allowed on the course, though they may be leashed and under control at start finish.
No partial laps, only full laps will count.
If you cut the course in any way you are automatically disqualified.
No littering, you will be disqualified and shamed.
Official distances will be based on wheel measured course markings not personal GPS watches.
This is a CUPLESS event. You are responsible for providing your own water bottle or cup. Please consider bringing one for water and one for soda or tailwind. There will be a table provided if you would like to leave your cup or bottle at the aid station rather than carry it with you.
Awards/Results
Each runner will receive a patch or a year patch (if you ran last year) as a finishers award upon completion of the race. Top 3 awards for women, men, and non-binary finishers will be given. Finishers will be based on most laps completed. In the event of a tie, the winner is whomever completed those laps faster.
We Are Part of the Trail Mix Fund!
Do you want to race but can’t afford the entry fee? Are you a part of the BIPOC or LGBTQ+ community? Apply to the Trail Mix Fund to have your registration fee waived. You can learn more on the website: https://trailmixfund.org/
In an effort to improve the diversity in trail racing and remove a potential barrier for the under-served and under-represented, we've partnered up with the Trail Mix Fund, a 501(3)c non-profit. While we all like to think this sport is accessible – “you just need a pair of shoes” – that just isn’t always the case. The Trail Mix Fund is available to anyone wanting to run a race who could use some assistance in paying for it and for those from the BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities. During registration, we are accepting donations to their organization. All donations made here go directly to the Trail Mix Fund, not to this race. Please consider helping this organization by donating!
