OMRR's Cabin Fever Reliever

Lace up your shoes and shake off the winter chill at OMRR's Cabin Fever Reliever, set to take place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in Rogersville, Missouri. This popular annual event, organized by the Ozark Mountain Ridge Runners, offers distances of 3.1 miles (5K), 6.2 miles (10K), and a unique 12.4 miles (20K), catering to a range of runners looking to challenge themselves. The 20K race, a standout offering in the region, presents a prime opportunity to test your endurance and even vie for a Missouri state record.

The USTAF-certified course promises a scenic wintery run across rolling hills, winding along country roads nestled amongst farms and forests. While the 5K is a single loop, the 10K and 20K courses feature an out-and-back design, with the 20K completing two such loops. Runners can expect well-supported aid stations approximately a quarter of the way through the 10K course, which 20K participants will pass multiple times, offering water, electrolytes, and gels. Typical race day conditions in early February present crisp air with average highs around 44°F and lows around 22°F, along with a minimal 10% chance of precipitation, though the event is prepared for various winter weather, rarely canceling except for lightning.

Starting and finishing conveniently at Logan-Rogersville High School, the race benefits the Logan-Rogersville High School Cross Country Team, fostering a strong community atmosphere. Participants can look forward to a finisher pint glass to commemorate their achievement. Enthusiastic volunteers are known for their supportive spirit, and post-race amenities often include comforting treats like hot grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, creating a welcoming finish line experience.
