2025-02-22 Tame the Dragon

The premier rogaine event of the midwest returns. Gaze upon any map of mid-Missouri. The curvy, undulating shape of the Lake of the Ozarks, is unmistakable.  With numerous inlets and coves there is over 1,100 miles of shoreline.  It’s easy to see why this event was named after a similarly shaped mythical creature. Do you have what it takes to Tame the Dragon?

This is a rogaine-style orienteering event held within the 17,660 acre Lake of the Ozarks State Park.  You’ll have 8 hours to find as many CP locations as can.  You can go in any order and get as many or as few as you like.  Your registration includes maps, post-race food, and… (we’re working on something cool).

There will be water on the course, but please plan to carry your own. And bring plenty of snacks to keep you going.  Late winter weather in Missouri can include just about anything.  Check the forecast a few days before and pack accordingly.

The precise starting location, the race rules, details, and last minute updates will be sent during the week leading up to the event.  There is no preferred race hotel, but there are numerous lodging and dining options in Osage Beach, Missouri.

Teams are encouraged for fun and safety.  Solo racers must have prior endurance and navigation experience.

*** Please register by early February to guarantee a map.  Registrations after that will be capped based on the number of maps printed. ***

Date/Time: February 22, 2025. Map distribution 7:00 am.  Mass start at 8:00 am.  Must be finished by 4:00 pm.

Location: Lake of the Ozarks State Park

Courses: 8 hour Rogaine format. Find CPs in any order.

Meet Director: Gary Thompson
