Ozark Trail Running Club’s Mission

We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive community of trail runners, by ensuring equitable access to trail spaces and stewardship of those spaces through events, conservation, and advocacy. 

We believe in using our collective voice to advocate for more trails and trail running opportunities that are welcoming and accessible to all. 

We are committed to organizing group runs and trail races that showcase the beauty of our Ozark region while promoting physical wellness, camaraderie, and healthy competition. 

OTR advocates for and partners with local organizations to maintain and build trails that are appropriate and enjoyable for trail runners.
