The Fayetteville Half Marathon will visit some
of Fayetteville's most unique spots. There will be a half-distance
marathon along with a 10K, 5K, Magic Mile and 1 mile fun run/walk.
Other activities for people of all ages will be part of the weekend's
festivities. The most unique aspect to this event will be the finish
line...the John McDonnell Outdoor Track Complex! Runners will enter
the track and make a lap with crowds cheering them on from the stands.
A two-loop course which is mostly flat with
a couple of moderate-incline sections and one nice downhill that
begins on the University of Arkansas campus. The course will make
it's way north on Garland Ave, over to a portion of the trail system,
to Dickson Street, to the UofA campus running past Old Main and
then back to the outdoor track complex for a lap inside the stadium.
Enjoy the finishing stretch on Razorback Road because it's all downhill!
Saturday, December 11th will feature the Magic
Mile. One of the fastest one-mile courses in the world. It's all
downhill. There will be adult and youth categories. Also, a Family
Friendly Event and Vendor Retail Expo with interactive games, demonstrations,
industry representatives and local retailers. On Sunday, December
12th in addition to the runs there will be a fun post-race celebration
held at the stadium.
