Ouachita Triple Crown

We are stoked to partner with the city of Hot Springs to make The Ouachita Triple Crown part of the Gudrun Northwoods Festival this year!! Participants are encouraged to join in on the rest of the Gudrun activities and parties, it is a great time in the Northwoods!

The Ouachita Triple Crown route was first mapped by Kenny Williams in 2019.  He wanted to link together three International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) Epic Trails into one epic bikepacking route.  When connected by gravel roads, the Ouachita Trail (OT), the Womble Trail, and the Lake Ouachita Vista Trail (LOViT) create a circle around Lake Ouachita.

IMBA Epic Trails are the best of the best, and Arkansas has more of them that any other state.  The Ouachita Mountains, composed of rocky ridges and narrow, spring cooled valleys, is the perfect landscape for an IMBA Epic Trail.  The mountains are wild, beautiful, and rugged.

PARTICIPANTS MUST SIGN UP WITH TRACKLEADERS FOR THE EVENT!

October 1st will be the last day for full registration for anyone that needs to withdraw. An event shirt or requested shirt size will only be promised for participants registered by October 20th.
