We’ll see you on the trail.
This event is the result of trail enthusiasts joining forces to create something special. As the only trail run allowed in the entire Hobbs State Park [trail PDF], the War Eagle Trail Running Festival is very unique and allows both beginner and experienced trail runners a chance to view the beautiful area while taking part in an event in which proceeds benefit the very trail they’re running. Each year proceeds benefit the Rogers Lions Club and Friends of Hobbs.
Parking and the start will be near the War Eagle Mill on the Fred Sutton’s property. This is the same location as last year. Use 11045 War Eagle Rd in Rogers, AR for your GPS.
