This new short course also comes with Founding Finisher recognition. The first finishing class in 2027 will receive a Founding Finisher sticker, and their names will be listed on the Ha Ha Racing Events website as the first LOZ Traverse: Short Course field.

Register early, save money, grab the hoodie before they’re gone, and be part of something special at Lake of the Ozarks State Park.

Some say leave it all on the course. This course left it all on him.
