FKT: Mandy Ferguson - Eagle Rock Loop (AR) - 2024-09-28

I started around 7:00am to avoid the worst heat of the day. Temps were around 69° when I started and 85° when I finished. I carried all of my fuel and water in my running vest, and I stopped to filter and refill water in the Little Missouri River and some natural springs. I had encouragement along the way from random hikers, and it was fun to meet the same groups later in the run that I had seen early on. I even had an impromptu cheering section from some people who were in the trailhead as I finished. This is a fun run with gorgeous scenery (I failed to take more than one pic today), and I’m looking forward to going out and doing it again sometime!
