The AURA is a member club of the Road Runners Club of America and is dedicated to promoting ultra and trail running in and around the state of Arkansas. Club members also direct a number of races and fun runs throughout the year. AURA administers an annual Ultra Trail Series (UTS), (the AURA year begins on July 1st). The UTS is a system for awarding and tracking points earned through the completion of designated AURA races and fun runs. Winners receive trophies at the end of the series in June. Members receive a newsletter roughly once a month. Please send your race reports or articles for the newsletter to Stacey. The club has a men's & women's RRCA Grand Prix Team.
