The Arkansas Traveller 100 is an iconic 100-mile ultramarathon held annually in Perryville, Arkansas, showcasing the rugged beauty of the Ouachita Mountains. Established over three decades ago, it is one of the oldest 100-mile races in the United States and remains a favorite among ultrarunners for its challenging yet runnable terrain. The course consists of a 17-mile loop followed by an 83-mile out-and-back section on forest service roads, jeep trails, and a portion of the Ouachita Trail, with a total elevation gain of approximately 12,000 feet. Known for its outstanding organization, dedicated volunteers, and warm Southern hospitality, the race provides a supportive atmosphere that draws both elite runners and first-time 100-milers. The 34th edition is set for October 4–5, 2025, continuing its tradition of endurance, perseverance, and camaraderie in the ultrarunning community.
