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.
Magazine is 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 atop the mountain and into the valley below. It's now time to enjoy those trails as runners.
Come join us for the 8th Mount Magazine Fun Run. We'll start just north of the visitor center (see map below), and hit almost every trail in the park, along with a portion of the Cove Lake Trail. The run will be approximately 18 miles, with a trip to the base of the mountain, via the Cove Lake Trail, and back to the top.
Parking is limited. PLEASE carpool where possible!
Volunteers/Runners If you have a fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, or loss of taste or smell, or if you have been exposure to someone with Covid-19 in the past 14 days PLEASE DO NOT COME.
Feel free to hang out after the race, this year we will have hot dogs and the fixins at the finish.
There will be a donation box, once costs are covered (including gas money for volunteers), all extra goes to the Mt Magazine Visitor Center for trail work & maintenance.
This is a fun run and there are no entry fees but please register so we know how many to prepare for. Contact PT if you have any questions. Food will be provided after the run. There will be a donation can to help cover expenses.
