Creek Trail Crusher

Creek Trail Crusher

The Creek Trail Crusher is a series of timed ultrarunning events held at Rotary Park in Paragould, Arkansas. The event features three race formats defined by the total allowed running time.

• 25.002 miles (6 hour Crusher)
• 50.004 miles (12 hour Crusher)
• 100.008 miles (24 hour Crusher)

All races use a repeated 4.167 mile out and back cycle. Participants must complete each cycle within 59 minutes and 59 seconds. A new cycle begins at half past every hour. Early or late starts are not permitted; a runner who has not returned from the previous cycle or is not at the start line when the new cycle begins will be disqualified. Use of medical aid on the course results in disqualification.

Runners may have teams and provide nutrition, hydration, and aid in the designated area at the start and finish. Hydration packs and fuel are permitted on the course. Lunch and dinner are provided for participants at the start and finish area.

Races operate as last participant standing events. If no participant completes the full allotted time, once only one participant remains that runner is declared the winner. If multiple participants reach the final cycle, the first to complete the cycle is declared the winner.

Proceeds from the 2026 Creek Trail Crusher will be directed to support the Paragould Police Department. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
