Catsmacker

The Catsmacker is a fun trail run event scheduled for May 24, 2025, at the Lake Sylvia Day Use Area in Perryville, Arkansas. Participants can choose between two distances: approximately 20 miles for the Catsmacker and 12 miles for the Kitty Run. This donation-based event aims to cover costs for permits, supplies, and logistics, with a suggested donation of $20.

The course features a mix of forest service roads and the Ouachita Trail, with multiple aid stations available. The event also serves as a celebration for the Arkansas Ultra Trail Series, concluding the ultrarunning season with a cookout-style lunch.
