Description:

The OT50 was started by a group of early Arkansas ultra runners who came together, drew from their various ultra race experiences, and committed to putting on a quality fifty miler in Arkansas. As the oldest enduring Arkansas Ultra Running Association event, that intent lives on. The 50 mile and 50 km runs feature a picturesque climb over Pinnacle Mountain followed by an out-and-back traversing the rolling hills along the north shore of beautiful Lake Maumelle. Get ready for scenic, rocky, single-track as you tour Pinnacle Mountain State Park and the eastern part of the 222 mile Ouachita National Recreation Trail.

Proceeds benefit Pinnacle Mountain State Park and the Central Arkansas Trails Alliance.

Registration for the 2024 Ouachita Trail 50 Endurance Run opens by November 1st!

Time limit 13 hours, 200 entrants, 12% road.

Runners receive a finishers award, a race t-shirt (see deadline), and a finish line meal ticket. Special awards will be given for Overall M/F and Masters M/F for each distance and an Iron Will award for the final finisher.

The race will be timed by Garner Timing Services and the finish line burgers, chicken, and vegetarian sandwiches will be catered.
