The final trail running adventure of the 2010 Nortwest Arkansas Trail Running Series put on by LIART Sports came to a fun filled finish at race #6, Devil’s Den. The final leg screaming run took place at Devil’s Den State Park, tucked in the beautiful oak-hickory forest of the Ozarks Mountains.
Nearly 100 runners got dirty on the 8.3 or 2.9 mile course.

Course
The long-course runners cruised along two separate clockwise loops (big loop, small loop). The short-course runners enjoyed the small loop. It is not clear how technical the course was but many of the pictures highlight a fairly groomed surface.
