Arkansas Traveller

Qualifier status per the 2026 lists

Founded in 1991, Arkansas Traveller runs a 17-mile opening loop then 83 miles of out-and-back through the Ouachita Mountains — forest roads, jeep trails, and eight miles of the Ouachita National Recreation Trail — for 12,000 feet of cumulative gain. The terrain is characteristically runnable: minimal single-track, predominantly double-track and dirt road. Twenty-three aid stations support the course. The 30-hour cutoff is the Western States qualifying window; in 2024, only 94 of 194 starters finished.
