Mount Magazine State Park, a natural “island in the sky,” looms over the Arkansas River Valley, and is home to Signal Hill, the highest point in the state, elevation 2,753 feet.
It is also home to magnificent bluffs which make for breathtaking scenery, provide spectacular views, and make it popular for hang gliders and climbers alike. Magazine also offers numerous trails for hiking & running atop the mountain and into the valley below.

This is a fun run and there are no entry fees but please register so we know how many to prepare for. Contact Paul Turner if you have any questions. There will be a donation box, to help cover expenses. After expenses are covered remaining proceeds go to the Mt Magazine Visitor Center.

Parking is limited. PLEASE carpool where possible!

After the race we will have hot dogs and the fix’ns at the finish. Please hang around, eat, visit, and enjoy the mountain top. Adult beverages are welcome, but please be discreet.
We have added a cut-off time, for the 18M run, of 11am at the staffed aid-station at mile 10.5 (behind the campground). If you get to the aid-station after 11, you will be directed to continue to the 12M finish.

Also, check out the GOOGLE MAP for more details.

Answers to posted questions…

Adult Beverages are allowed; however, please be discrete!
There are 2 aid-stations, the first is approx 5.5 miles in and will be water only, the second is approx 10.5 miles in. It is staffed and it will have water/gatorade/snacks.
There is a new 11am cut-off at the staffed aid-station (mile 10.5), for runners doing the 18M run. If you miss it, you will be dropped down to the 12M run.
Some folks like to bring food to share. If you want to do that, that would be awesome.
VOLUNTEERS are always welcome, if you would like to volunteer, please send me a private message, and we can work out the arrangements. Thanks guys, looking forward to seeing you on top of Arkansas!
