Hare Mountain 100
2023-10-27 08:00 - 2023-10-28 17:00 | Haw Creek Falls Recreation Area, Hagarville, AR, 72839, United States
The Hare Mountain 100 is a point-to-point 100-mile run, that incorporates 2 scenic spur loops, along the Ozark Highlands Trail in the Northwestern part of Arkansas across the Boston Mountain segment. Hare Mountain is the highest point on the OHT at nearly 2400 feet. This segment covers 164 miles of rocky, steep, and rugged forest with several creek crossings, waterfalls, bluffs, and beautiful sandstone outcrops. I’m utilizing 100 miles of the most challenging sections of this segment.
Being born and raised in Cass, AR I grew up on this trail. Spending hours of my life on and off the trail running, hiking, and exploring. It has been a dream of mine since I got back into ultrarunning to bring a 100-mile race to this amazing trail. I also hope to add a point-to-point 100k and 50 mile to the same trail segment in the spring.
Runners must sign a waiver, perform 8 hours of trail work, or opt out of trail work for a $100 donation to the Ozark Highlands Trail Association in order to participate in this event. It is preferable that you complete the trail work on the OHT if possible, especially the most remote and neglected areas. Please send proof of trail work to haremountain100@gmail.com.
I am not making it a qualification but I certainly prefer that you have run a 50 miler on trail with at least 5000 feet of vertical gain. This race will be extremely difficult. Measurements taken by GPS and mapping have put elevation gain between 20,000-22,000 feet. Participants who need to drop will be given credit for a 50 miler or 100k if they reach those distances. The cutoff for the race is 35 hours.
Maps, directions, lodging, aid stations, etc will be available soon.

Please stay for the awards because we will have prizes that we will give away by drawing bib numbers!!!!
On October 15th we will have our fun mountain bike poker ride. It will start at access 1 this year. We are doing it a little different this year. We also have a couple local riders that will take you on whatever you want to ride! We want you to have a great time on the new trails! We moved it to Sunday in hopes that some of the runners would be able to participate it the ride. If you have never done a mountain bike poker ride, be prepared to have fun and meet some new people. You will draw a poker card before you start. There will be three more stops where you draw cards. You will draw your final card and turn it in at the finish. You may purchase more cards before the event starts! If you have multiple hands, you will hand one to the person at the stop. You will draw for that hand. You will then hand them your next hand and draw for it. You do not get to pick which card goes with what hand. (gotta keep it fair for those with only one hand) When everyone finishes, the person with the highest hand gets to pick from the prizes first. The person with the lowest hand picks next. We will give the remaining participants a ticket and draw until prizes are gone. The mountain bike ride is for fun! It is not a race.
