LOViT : Mt. Ida, Arkansas
LOViT is a trail endurance event held on the Lake Ouachita Vista Trail and through the Ouachita National Forest near Mt. Ida, Arkansas. The event offers the following distances:
- 50 kilometer
- 100 kilometer
- 100 mile
The course is very hilly, with an average climb of about 100 to 200 feet per mile (roughly 5,000 to 8,000 feet in 50 miles). Surface types include trail and dirt road with substantial rocks, roots, and ruts. The route is supported with manned aid stations: 12 on the 100 kilometer course and 22 on the 100 mile course. Participants in all events receive an event shirt; 50 kilometer and 100 kilometer finishers receive a medal, and 100 mile finishers receive a custom finisher’s buckle. Awards are given to the top three overall male and female finishers in each distance.
Pre-race check-in and the start/finish are located in the East Cove Building at the host facility, Mountain Harbor Resort. Runners are required to carry a water bottle or hydration pack and a light for use during darkness; a backup light is strongly suggested and a cell phone is recommended. Weather in late February can be variable; average temperatures are about 60F high and 35F low.
Run LOViT Endurance Events operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the umbrella of the RRCA, with event proceeds invested in trail development and maintenance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
