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!

1. 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.
2. Feel free to hang out after the race, this year we will have hot dogs and the fixins at the finish.
3. 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.

Answers to posted questions...

• Adult Beverages - If you want to bring your own adult beverages, that is ok; however, please be discrete!
• There are 2 aid-stations, the first is approx 5.5 miles in and will be water only, the second is approx 10.5 miles in, it will have water/gatorade/snacks.
• There is not time limit, and if you decide to drop down to 12 versus 18 miles, you can do that at the 2nd aid-station.
• If you bring food to share, that would be awesome. I will have a couple ice chests there, but limited room in them. If you have an ice chest you are more than welcome to leave it over with the others. There will be plenty of room in the pavilion.
• VOLUNTEERS are always welcome, if you would like to volunteer, please send me a private message, and we can work out the arrangements. Thanks guys, looking forward to seeing you on top of Arkansas in a couple weeks!!!
