This winter, take a trip to "The American Spa." Join us at Hot Springs National Park on Saturday, January 20, 2024 for this memorable trail half marathon. Known for its thermal fountains, open springs, mountain views, and stunning forested trails, Hot Springs National Park is one of the most unique and historic locations in the United States. Established before the concept of a national park existed, Hot Springs was the first area to be preserved and set aside by the federal government for future recreation. Ranked as one of the Top 25 National Parks by multiple outlets, Hot Springs is a must visit destination. The Hot Springs Half Marathon occurs mostly within the national park trail system making this a unique opportunity to experience all that Hot Springs has to offer!
