8:00 a.m. start
Mount Magazine State Park, Paris AR
AURA Ultra Trail Series Event
Race Director:
Paul Turner
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
