Catsmacker

The Catsmacker is a trail running event held at the Lake Sylvia Day Use Area in Perryville, Arkansas. It features a 20-mile course and a shorter 12-mile "Kitty Run" option. The route combines Forest Service roads, a segment of the Ouachita Trail, pavement, gravel, and single/double track trails, with course markings including signs, ribbons, and flour arrows.

The event is a fun, donation-based run that serves as the season-closer for the Arkansas Ultra Trail Series, culminating in an awards ceremony and cookout. Aid stations, safety measures, and parking details are provided to support participants in this scenic and community-focused trail run.
