Show Notes

This weekend, an estimated 75-100 runners are expected to take to the Lake Ouachita Vista Trail (LOViT), a 40-mile trail that extends from Denby Bay in Montgomery County to Avery Recreation Area at Blakely Dam.
The eighth running of the LOViT 100 Endurance Run consists of two separate races — a 100-mile endurance race that is capped at 34 hours and a 100-kilometer race that is capped at 21 hours. This is the ninth year the race has been scheduled, but due to high water one year, the National Park Service rescinded the permit for the race.
The 100-mile race starts Friday at 5 p.m. at the East Cove Pavilion with the 100-kilometer race starting at 6 a.m. Saturday. The race started in 2014 as a 100-kilometer race that started at Crystal Springs Resort and in 2015, it was expanded to include the 100-mile race and started at Mountain Harbor Resort and Spa.
