SPONSORS & COMMUNITY PARTNERS

The people and organizations helping make ABF possible

ABF is made possible through the generosity, hard work and dedication of our sponsors, community partners, aid-station crews and volunteers. We are grateful for every person and organization that helps support our runners and this race.

Big Fork Community Center

Race Host & Beneficiary

The Big Fork Community Center serves as race headquarters and provides a warm, welcoming gathering place for our runners and volunteers. Members of the Big Fork community help prepare the facility, keep the wood stove going and share their hospitality throughout race weekend. A portion of the race’s net proceeds benefits the community center in appreciation for its continued generosity and support.

Ouachita Amateur Radio Association

Race Communications, Safety Partner & Beneficiary

Cell service is limited throughout the course, particularly at aid stations located in the valleys. OARA volunteers provide essential radio communication between the aid stations and race headquarters, helping us keep runners safe and accounted for throughout race day. A portion of the race’s net proceeds benefits the association in recognition of this vital service.

Arkansas Ultra Running Association

Supporting Organization

The Arkansas Ultra Running Association is dedicated to promoting ultra and trail running throughout Arkansas. ABF is proud to be part of the AURA Ultra Trail Series, and we appreciate the organization’s longstanding support of the race and Arkansas trail-running community.
