From the Race Organizer
Welcome to the 35th running of the Ouachita Trail 50 Endurance Run! We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations and profits for this event will go to Pinnacle Mountain State Park. The OT50 was started by a group of early Arkansas ultra runners who came together, drew from their various ultra race experiences, and committed to putting on a quality fifty miler in Arkansas. As the oldest enduring Arkansas Ultra Running Association event, that intent lives on. The 50 mile and 50 km runs feature a picturesque climb over Pinnacle Mountain followed by an out-and-back traversing the rolling hills along the north shore of beautiful Lake Maumelle. Get ready for scenic, rocky, single-track as you tour Pinnacle Mountain State Park and the eastern part of the 222 mile Ouachita National Recreation Trail. Proceeds benefit Pinnacle Mountain State Park General Information: Location: Maumelle Park, Little Rock, Arkansas, Pavilion # 8 Starting Time: 6:00 AM for 50 Mile and 50 Km. Runners must check in at
