Village Creek 10k/25k Trail Run

Dive into the legendary mud-soaked adventure at Village Creek State Park as you lace up your shoes for the annual Village Creek Legend race. This epic trail run is steeped in tradition and draws runners from across Arkansas to challenge themselves on nearly 7,000 acres of untouched wilderness.
Located just a short drive south of Wynne, this state park boasts an extensive multi-use trail system that winds through Crowley’s Ridge, offering breathtaking vistas and challenging terrain. The race routes are meticulously designed with elevation changes, creeks, mud pits, and dense foliage, providing both physical and emotional hurdles for participants to overcome.
The 25K course is a grueling out-and-back journey along the park's scenic trails, marked by rugged ridgelines and rolling pipeline obstacles that test your endurance. With a strict six-hour time limit, runners must navigate through approximately half of this distance before reaching the turnaround point at marker #16 to ensure they make it back in time for the cinnamon roll treat awaiting them at the finish line.
For those looking for a shorter but equally thrilling experience, the 10K offers a condensed version of the adventure. Both distances feature aid stations near their respective halfway points where runners can replenish fluids and energy before pushing on to the finish.
As you cross the start/finish line nestled in the lower campground, be prepared for an array of amenities including pristine bathhouses and nearby camping options that allow you to enjoy a full night's rest just steps from the starting point. If cabin stays are more your style, Village Creek State Park also offers luxurious accommodations near Lake Dunn.
