Location: Lake Sylvia day park

Start Time:  8:00pm (see schedule below)

Directions: From Williams Junction (approximately 30 miles west of Little Rock on Hwy 10), follow Hwy 9/10 north approximately one mile, take Hwy 324 and follow four miles to the park entrance. 

Note: A $3.00 park fee will need to be paid at the park entrance for each vehicle.  Please carpool!

This will be the 2011-2012 AURA Ultra Trail Series kick-off race.  UTS applications and AURA memberships will be accepted on site before the run starts.

There is no entry fee for the run. There will be onsite registration with waiver to sign, and donation receptacle to show appreciation for those administering the run and/or providing food and aid.  We'll issue numbers at registration to help the HAM radio operators keep up with you.

Both courses are out-and-back, all on well-maintained forest service roads.  

All turns will be marked with flour, and maps will be available at the start.  Two unstaffed aid stations are at miles 3.5 and 12-ish. Two staffed and stocked aid stations are at the 25k (7.5 miles) and 50K turnarounds.  Carry a water bottle or hydration pack.  It gets dark around 8:45 to 9:00; so carry a flashlight too.

A 7:00pm early start is provided for runners who desire to do the 50K but who feel they may need more than eight hours to complete the course. 

Results placement of early starters will be after all finishers who begin at 8:00pm.

You might keep an eye out for Copperhead snakes (they may stretch out on the road--soaking up the heat after dark).
