Ozark Highlands Endurance Run

The Ozark Highlands Endurance Run offers participants the opportunity to experience the world-class trail system located minutes from town. The 1.2-million acre Ozark-St. Francis National Forests offer endless opportunities for adventure. As one of America’s most scenic and picturesque areas, the Ozark-St. Francis provides a lot of the “natural” in the Natural State of Arkansas.

The Ozark Highlands 50K course will start out at Norfork River Resort and proceed towards the Ozark Highlands Trail via 2.7 miles of rolling roads. The trail traverses through numerous hollows and takes participants across some of the most rugged and remote terrain in the Ozark National Forest. Runners will follow the OHT to the Brush Creek Trailhead and return back to the resort.

The Twin Creek Twenty short course option will follow the same route as the Ozark Highlands 50K, but turnaround at Twin Creek Road Aid Station.

Norfork is reputed to be one of the finest trout fishing areas in the United States, possibly the world, and offers many miles of challenging singletrack trails. Located in a beautiful valley in north central Arkansas where the White River is joined by the North Fork River, the town was established adjacent to the Wolf House, (c 1829), which is the oldest public structure in Arkansas.
