Shake off the winter chill and kickstart your racing season at the Cabin Fever Reliever, set for February 7, 2026, in scenic Rogersville, MO. This popular event, hosted by the Ozark Mountain Ridge Runners, offers distances of 5K, 10K, and a unique 20K, all on a USATF Certified course. Runners can anticipate a picturesque journey through rolling hills, offering a refreshing challenge and beautiful views. The 20K distance is particularly noteworthy, providing a rare opportunity to pursue state records and achieve personal bests as one of Missouri's only certified 20K events.

Typical race day conditions in early February can feature crisp air with highs around 44°F and lows near 22°F, along with a modest 10% chance of precipitation, so runners should dress accordingly for a brisk, wintery run. The race experience begins at Logan-Rogersville High School, serving as the convenient start and finish location with indoor restrooms available. Aid stations on the 10K and 20K courses provide water, Gatorade, electrolytes, and gels, with one station strategically placed to be passed multiple times. Upon crossing the finish line, participants are welcomed indoors for a truly special post-race treat: hot grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, a finisher's meal often highlighted by past runners. All finishers receive a medal and a commemorative Cabin Fever Reliever pint glass, adding to the rewarding atmosphere of this community-focused race that benefits the Logan-Rogersville High School Cross Country Team.
