This is a mostly local race ran by some really awesome volunteers. The aid station volunteers were super supportive and well stocked. The weather is also very nice this time of year in Arkansas, or we just got lucky! However, overall I personally didn’t love this course. I found it very rocky, to the point that 50% at least was not runnable; lots of rock gardens and ankle biters under leaves. Also beware, though not at elevation, it is filled with steep climbs and downhills. I got 3600ft cumulative elevation gain for the 50k. The swag was amazing, but I was surprised there were literally no bathrooms at any aid stations past the 4 mi mark. I’m a backpacking girl, but peeing in the woods with 100 of your friends running by is a bit much~
