Arkansas’s largest trail race tackles Beaver Lake country
Runners choose 10K, 25K, or 50K routes through Hobbs State Park, Arkansas’s largest state park beside Beaver Lake in the Ozarks.
Event details
Flowing singletrack through the wooded hills of Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area carries runners of every experience level during the Hobbs War Eagle Trail Races. Distances from 10K to 50K welcome first-time trail racers alongside seasoned ultrarunners, all inside one of Northwest Arkansas’s most inviting stretches of nature beside Beaver Lake.
The variety of distances makes this an approachable introduction to trail running for families building toward longer goals together, while the Ozark terrain itself becomes part of the day’s discovery: tree cover, creek crossings, and rolling elevation that reward steady pacing over speed, and views that make even a support crew glad to have come along.
A 6:30 a.m. start and longer distances make an overnight Stay the sensible plan, whether in a Beaver Lake cabin, a Rogers hotel, or a nearby campground. Arrive the evening before to rest, lay out gear, and check trail conditions and weather, then recover afterward with shoreline views close at hand. Simple preparation turns a demanding trail day into a well-earned, shared achievement for the whole traveling group, whatever distance each runner chooses.
