Local folklore speaks of Sasquatch sightings during the early history of Little Rock AR. Through the mid to late 1800’s, several different companies harvested the forests that later became Hillcrest and the Heights neighborhoods and Allsopp Park. Loggers would tell tales of "huge, man-like beasts" roaming the woods at night. Since the dedication of Allsopp Park in 1931 and the development of surrounding areas, Sasquatch sightings have decreased but do persist. There have been multiple unconfirmed Sasquatch sightings in this area since 1932. Others believe the majority of the Sasquatch population migrated to Miller County and are now known as the “Fouke Monster”.
“Squatch Till You Drop” is a trail running event at Allsopp Park South that pays tribute to this legend. Participants will traverse these Sasquatch habitats on technical single track that will challenge even the fittest of runners. This course isn’t a “walk in the park”.
