The Cossatot River Trail Run is an endurance trail event held along the Cossatot River in the Ouachitas at Cossatot River State Park in Wickes, AR (1980 US-278). The event offers two measured trail distances and finishes at the park's Visitor Center.

The terrain is hilly, with listed elevation gain of 4,000 ft for the marathon and 2,000 ft for the half marathon. The half marathon uses a shuttle to the Bushy Creek Recreation Area and the race uses packet pickup at the Visitor Center.

Participants receive a finisher medal and event tee if ordered by Sep 5; awards are given for first through third places in male and female divisions, and a DFL award is noted for the marathon.
