Devil's Toll Race

Devil’s Toll Race takes place in Middle Brook, Missouri, along the Ozark Trail. The centerpiece is a 13-mile course through rugged, rocky backcountry with about 1,400 feet of elevation gain. Participants may run or hike solo or in two-person teams, with half-marathon options as well.

The route climbs Taum Sauk Mountain, passes Mina Sauk Falls and the Devils’ Toll Gate, then traverses Proffit and Wildcat Mountains before a final Black River crossing at Johnson Shut-Ins State Park. The event is a self-supported fundraiser for the Ozark Trail Association, marked by red blaze signs, with limited support and a no-refund policy. Camping options available.
