About

The Arkansas Traveller 100 offers a classic endurance challenge through the scenic Ouachita Mountains, beginning with a 17-mile loop and continuing with an 83-mile out-and-back journey. Runners tackle forest roads, rugged jeep trails, and a section of the Ouachita Trail, accumulating 12,000 feet of elevation gain along the way. The course is renowned for its runnable yet deceptively difficult hills and picturesque Southern landscape. Participants enjoy robust support, with fully stocked aid stations staffed by experienced volunteers and a welcoming community atmosphere that embodies true Southern hospitality. Famed for its tradition and genuine ultrarunning experience, this event is a favorite among both first-time 100-milers and seasoned veterans. The Arkansas Traveller 100 is also a qualifier for the Western States, making it a sought-after race on the ultramarathon calendar.
