The Arkansas Ultra Running Association is a 501(c)(3) organization that began in 1989. We organize, host or designate a number of races and fun runs to be included in our Ultra Trail Series each year, from June through May. We are unique in that many of our events are free/donation based with our directors volunteering their time. This saves our runners money and frees up more funds to be donated to the communities that serve us. Winners of the UTS or UTS LITE (aka Kings and Queens of the Trail) are crowned at the completion of the series. The award ceremony and post race party is typically held at the Catsmacker, our final fun run of the UTS season. It is a party nobody wants to miss! The 2025-2026 Ultra Trail Series registration will open here after the final UTS race at Mt. Magazine Trail Run in May 2025. Individual points are awarded for each event completed, based on the UTS Rules. Male and Female, Open, Master, Grand Master, Senior, and Super-Senior winners (Kings/Queens of the T
