SUMMARY:Styx & Stones Trail Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Join us this spring at Devil’s Den State Park\, an Arkansas icon nestled in the Lee Creek Valley\, for the Styx & Stones Trail Races. Both the Full and Half Marathon race distances will explore the beautiful new Monument Trail system\, Butterfield Hiking Trail\, Devil’s Den’s unique rock formations and rock gardens\, and given the time of year you may experience running under a seasonal waterfall! The longer the distance\, the greater the rewards\, including creek crossings\, big climbs\, and more remote technical running that Styx & Stones is so well known for. This year\, the event will be free\, but we ask that you make a minimum donation of $20 to cover our costs and support the benefiting groups. This is a graduate level trail marathon with significantly challenging and technical terrain. Please be prepared or consider the Half Marathon if you are not an experienced trail runner. \nEvent Background: \nFrom it’s inception with Mark Den Herder as RD\, Styx & Stones has been about celebrating the trail community and giving back; donating 100% of any race proceeds to support the West Fork XC team. We will continue to honor and expand that tradition in 2024. With the help of our sponsors and your donations\, our goal is that 100% will be donated to support the West Fork XC teams\, Friends of Devil’s Den\, and Ozark Offroad Cyclists\, who build and maintain most of our Ozark trails.

(This is separate from the national leaderboard prize money.) \nBy the end of the tour\, the top 100 best times nationally will be invited to also compete in the Outlast Championship. \n  \nFrequently Asked Questions: \nDo I have to run all 6 laps?\nNope. Run as many as you can. If you complete 4 or 5\, you’ll still earn a patch. Only those who finish all 6 get the OUTLAST medal and leaderboard ranking. \nWhat happens if I don’t finish a lap in time?\nYou’re out. The next lap starts at the top of the next hour\, and only those who completed the last lap on time can continue. \nHow is the race timed?\nEach 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6\, your combined time counts toward the local win and national leaderboard. \nAre these trail races or road?\nEvery OUTLAST race is on trail terrain — dirt\, rocks\, roots\, and elevation. Sometimes some pavement and gravel. \nCan I walk?\nYes\, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour. But some courses are rugged\, and time can sneak up on you. \nAre there aid stations?\nYes. There will be water\, basic hydration\, and snacks at the basecamp/loop start. This is a cupless event — bring your own bottle or hydration system. \nWhat should I bring?\nTrail shoes\, hydration system\, layers (weather dependent)\, fuel between laps\, and grit. \nCan I setup a tent?\nAbsolutely\, bring your own aid station/tent setup. \nIs OUTLAST for beginners?\nYes — if you’re mentally tough. You don’t need to be fast\, just consistent and ready to suffer a little. \nHow do I win?\nIf you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time\, you win your division (male/female). Winners are also added to the national leaderboard for a shot at the $1\,000 national prize & title.

SUMMARY:Delta Grind
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the unique culture and beauty of the Arkansas Delta\, runners can expect a challenging and scenic course that showcases the beauty of the Delta region. Live music will be playing throughout the day\, and delicious food from local vendors served after the run.  Cupless event. BYO bottle/hydration pack recommended. Water jugs on course. \nRoutes –> ridewithgps.com \nLocation –> Kelly Courtyard\, 415 Cherry St\, Helena\, AR 72342 \n  \n“The first bit of the course runs through the town\, Past the Delta Cultural Center\, where the King Biscuit Blues radio show continues its daily broadcast\, just as it has for over 80 years. Up the brick path of the levee walk overlooking the port of Helena. Looking down on the ruins of old warehouses and wholesalers as the bricks turn to gravel and you head out of town. \n  \nLeaving the levee and entering the national forest\, the road moves further from the river. On the west side\, Crowley’s Ridge rises steeply. As geologic features go\, this one is pretty new. It was formed about 20\,000 years ago as windborne glacial loess accumulated here. Helena is the southern end of the ridge\, which extends about 200 miles north to Missouri and rises 250 feet above the otherwise pancake-flat region. \n  \nThe riverside to the east is a dense tangle of thick\, flat woods\, interrupted occasionally by cypress swamp. At first glance\, much of the scenery in the forest was not unlike the typical green tunnel you find elsewhere in the region\, but as the eyes began to soften and adjust\, differences appeared. \n  \nThe trees that make the consistent canopy are considerably taller than most you find in the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. The timber industry was a main source of wealth in the Delta in the 19th century\, but most forests were cleared and turned to cotton\, rice\, and\, later\, soy fields. Most of the existing Arkansas mills are in the hilly parts of the state\, and those forests are more likely to be interspersed with recent cuts. \n  \nThe road itself was softer and sandier than non-Delta gravel roads\, making for an ideal running surface. \n  \nThere were more cool drinks waiting back at the finish\, with mocktails and cold local Arkansas and Mississippi beer set up in a brick-lined picnic area that had once been a building. The live blues music and barbeque kept 100% of the participants there for hours after the race ended. The liveliness of the scene on that block that afternoon gave hints of what had been and could be again in Helena. \n  \nAchieving that vibrancy and highlighting the culture and natural beauty of the town and surrounding areas is very much the intention of the organizers of the Delta Dash run and accompanying Delta Grind ride. The events are organized primarily by the nonprofit StudioDrift\, which aims to revitalize the Delta through placemaking and adventure tourism.”  Read the rest of Brian Hurley’s recap here: www.irunfar.com/recovery-run-running-as-revitalization-in-the-arkansas-delta \n  \n“The perfect mash-up of fun and folly\, all to support the creation of the Crowley’s Ridge Gravel Trail\,” said Ammen Jordan\, Director of studioDRIFT. “Helena is the perfect basecamp for a weekend of adventure.” \nCupless event. BYO bottle/hydration pack recommended. Water jugs on course. \n  \n27K tickets include lunch and music. Delta Grind is a family-friendly event that is open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:Participation is limited\, and subject to filling up. If you register and later change your mind\, please contact Katie Helms. so that we can free up your spot for somebody else. Also note that any race donations are non-refundable. In other words\, if you sign up and donate\, you might as well show up! \nAURA “Fun Run” (no UTS points)\nDistance: 20-ish miles for the Catsmacker\, 12-ish miles for the Kitty Run option\nStart/Finish Area: the start is at the Lake Sylvia Day Use area (where you would go if you went swimming in the lake). NOT at Camp Ouachita (where the Full Moon and Traveller start).\nStart is at 7:00am\, sign-in will be available (hopefully) by 6:00am.\nCost: This is a donation-based run. That said\, we need to cover costs for Forest Service permitting\, aid station supplies\, finish line cookout\, and other race equipment/transportation/logistics. Please make sure that we can cover those costs and continue offering low-cost events. You can make an online payment here\, or a cash/check donation on race day. Donations are non-refundable\, and any proceeds will be donated to AURA. (A suggested donation to cover costs is $20. Thank you!) \nDriving & Parking Directions: You should be able to find Williams Junction\, AR on most maps; it is approximately 30 miles west of Little Rock on Hwy 10\, or 20 miles south of Morrilton on Hwy 9.  To get to the race site from Williams Junction\, go north on Hwy 10/9 for 1.5 miles\, then take Hwy 324 west and follow for three and a half miles. The Lake Sylvia day use area will be on your left about 1/2mile after Camp Ouachita. If the road turns to gravel you went half mile too far. \nGoogle driving directions to start \nParking is limited in the Lake Sylvia Day Use Area. Once this area is full\, parking will overflow along Highway 324. Please carpool if possible! Parking along Hwy 324 is limited to the west side only (on the right as you are driving in from Hwy 9/10). If you don’t see any cars parked on the east side of Hwy 324\, there is a reason! There will be signs and volunteers to assist you with where you can and can’t park. Make sure your car is all the way to the right of the white line (completely out of the traffic lane) when you park. \nCourse Description: \n\nThe course will utilize Forest Service roads and a portion of the Ouachita Trail. There will be a combination of pavement (just a little!)\, gravel\, and single/double track trail (it’s poison ivy season!).\nCourse marking will consist of signs\, colored ribbon flagging\, and flour arrows drawn on the ground. In general\, course marking is focused on marking turns and intersections. Intermediate “confidence” markings in the absence of turns or intersections will be relatively rare. We recommend that participants print off maps if they are unsure of the course or unfamiliar with the area.\nTurn-by-turn directions:\n\nFSR 152 (from start)\, turning right on FSR 132\nFSR 132 staying straight on FSR 94 (follow sign to Flatside Pinnacle)\nFSR 94 turning right onto Ouachita Trail\nOuachita Trail turn right onto FSR 805\nFSR 805 turning right onto Hwy 324\nHwy 324 to finish at Lake Sylvia day use area\nThe Kitty Run course is the same as above with one deviation that is seen on the map. Approximately 3.5 miles into the course\, the Kitty Run incorporates the Ouachita Trail for 1.5 miles and then turns back right onto FSR 805.\n\n\nCourse Map Google Course Map\n\nArkansas Ultra Trail Series: This is a no-UTS-points fun run that is a season-closer and celebration of the end of an amazing year of Arkansas ultrarunning. The 2022-2023 UTS awards ceremony will be held after the run\, with a cookout-style lunch. Celebrate with us! \nRunner Safety and Other Details: \n\nThere will be a waiver to sign on the morning of the run.\nThere will be at least 3 aid stations for the Catsmacker\, and 2 aid stations for the Kitty Run.\nPlease carry a water bottle and any snacks you want. Food choices at the aid stations will be basic.\nThe park allows dogs on a leash. Please don’t assume that your dog is the exception that doesn’t need a leash.\nIt’s always a good idea to carry a cell phone. The service is spotty\, but the higher hills often have signal available. If you are unfamiliar with the area\, run with a buddy and study the course map.\nCut-off is 6 hours. For the full Catsmacker\, that is a 16:30ish pace. There will be one early start option at 6:00am if (and only if) you anticipate needing more time to finish. It is not a “for your convenience if you don’t feel like waiting for the 7:00am start” option. If you miss the 6:00am early start\, then you will have to catch the 7:00am start.\nFor more information\, contact the race director Katie Helms.
