The Arkansas Traveller is steeped in tradition as one of the oldest 100 mile races in the country, maintaining its founding philosophy of providing a true ultrarunning experience melded with Southern hospitality.

We will have 23 fully stocked and staffed aid stations with the friendliest volunteers and course veterans to help you reach the finish line. The Traveller is a Western States qualifier.
