Passion Play Trail Run

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

The Great Passion Play in Eureka Springs will host the 2nd Annual Passion Play Trail Run on April 5, 2025.

This will be run on the amazing Great Passion Play Trails that are a part of the Oz Trail System of Northwest Arkansas (Click Here to learn more about the Oz Trails at the Passion Play). Runners will get to experience all the aspects of the Passions Play grounds including "Running to Jesus" with all runners going by the Christ of the Ozarks Statue, experiencing parts of The Holy Land Tour, and miles of amazing nature and scenery.

🌟 Distances Offered

The four distances are designed to have something for everyone - Fun Run, 5k Trail Run, 5 Mile Trail Run, and Half Marathon Trail Run - all happening on the morning of Saturday, April 5th.

🏅 Race Details

• Fun Run: Sponsored by Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge - This will be an all-road course to the Christ of the Ozarks Statue and then looping around the Passion Play grounds.
• 5k Trail Run: We have redesigned this course after feedback from last year's runners that the 5k route was too difficult. This course will still be a challenge but will be much easier on runners and will also take in much more of the scenic aspects of the grounds including running across the stage of the passion play.
• 5 Mile Trail Run: Starts by running to the Christ of the Ozarks Statue and then on trails: Genesis, Holy Roller, Genesis, Passover, Revelation for an out and back loop around the Sea of Galilee.
• Half Marathon Trail Run: This will be a combination of the 5k and 5 Mile Courses. Starts by running to the Christ of the Ozarks Statue, then the 5k course, and then a backwards loop of the 5-mile course.
