Super organized, communicative, loved the smoothness of race day packet pick up, and that wonderful prayer at the start of the race truly spoke to me with its kindness and intention and that was a first at a race and I have done a few 🙏🏼
I have always wanted to do a race on my birthday. Being 01/14 hard to find many that are not on the west coast (where I live lol) Having been to Arkansas 2 others times, I am a huge fan of the state parks in AR so that was my first ✅ then as I read about the cause ✅ which is to send $$ to a library at an elementary school, as a teacher, my heart was so excited that I knew this HAS to be the race I do for my birthday race. It’s state 34 for me and trail half marathon #2. I am so thankful I got to do this race!
On to the race:::: clear directions and signage, wonderful volunteers, deliciously stocked aid stations, the tacos and selection of soft drinks after and finished with hoodies to cozy up post race.
The medal is made from wood and the hoodie is top notch seriously.
Race day was chilly but after couple hours it was perfect. Lots of leaves 🍁 but not impossible. It had a good amount of climbs and defeats to make it super fun. We also crossed mini creeks 3 times but didn’t get wet. Flush and heated bathrooms at the state park were a luxury I needed coming from Southern California 😆 cause 39 degrees is cold to me.
Thank you once again 🙏🏼

Loved participating in this great trail race. Small crowd, create swag. Awesome aid stations with great snacks. Wonderful nice people. Would definitely recommend. Course is hard with over 1200 feet total elevation gain, but it’s well organized and its small size makes it a gem. It also raises money for orphans in Honduras. Win, win, win!
Wet, cold this year

This is a race many people do year after year. This was my first time doing a half marathon on trails. The swag is awesome (hooded sweatshirt) and free tacos afterwards. It poured down rain and was freezing cold this year. I may try again next year if the weather cooperates.
Worth running. Great trail.

The scenery was fantastic. A good trail run to give perspective on road races. Very technical for me but enjoyable. Was paying too much attention to my footing than the time and I was finished before I realized it. Great group of people who ran the show. Well done.
