Marathon versenyek Conway közelében

The Haunted 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon in Little Rock takes place in October, starting at Two Rivers Park Road. All four races begin at 8:00 AM, offering distances from a 5K to a full marathon on the same asphalt course. Registration is managed via RunSignup; there is no race-day registration at the start. The course features out-and-back segments instead of a point-to-point design. The 5K completes one out-and-back, the 10K does two, the half marathon runs its route four times, and the marathon repeats its course eight times. A six-hour cutoff applies, particularly relevant for the marathon where the repeated laps emphasize pacing and endurance.

At Pinnacle Mountain State Park in Roland, Arkansas, this November trail event is structured around a single 3.1-mile loop. Runners begin a new circuit on the hour and can continue for any duration. Completing one loop registers as a 5K, two as a 10K, four as a half marathon, nine as a marathon, and ten as a 50K. Each lap is timed, with final standings determined by the number of loops completed and the total time. The course follows natural park terrain, returning participants to a central area each hour. This design simplifies pacing and support, offering hydration, basic nutrition, and crew access between laps. The format also eliminates the typical pressure of endurance events; there are no DNFs for early stops, no missed cutoffs, and every completed loop is officially recorded. EverFurther Events organizes the series, employing this loop format instead of distinct fixed-distance starts.

The Gobbler in Little Rock, Arkansas, offers four distances that begin simultaneously at 8:00 AM: 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. All participants register via RunSignup; there is no race-day registration. Packet pickup is available on race morning, opening 30 minutes before the start and closing 10 minutes prior. The course consists of asphalt and features a repeating out-and-back format. The 5K completes this loop once, the 10K twice, the half marathon four times, and the marathon eight times. The six-hour cutoff is particularly relevant for the marathon, where participants must maintain pace on a highly repetitive route.

The Arkansas Grand Prix is a year-long Arkansas race series made up of road races and cross country events. The listed series event is based in Little Rock, with an 8:00 AM Central start time. The Arkansas chapter of the Road Runners Club of America administers the series, so it sits inside the state’s organized running-club network rather than operating as a single standalone race. Runners should expect a calendar-style competition spread across different race formats, with pavement races and off-road cross country both counting as part of the Grand Prix.
