Heroes Against Hunger 5K is a 5K run/walk at Two Rivers Park in Little Rock, held at the start of National PA Week. The KRT Fellowship for UAMS Physician Assistant Students organizes it with promotion support from the Arkansas Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, and the race raises money for the Arkansas Food Bank Food for Kids Program. It is built for runners and walkers, with about 200 participants expected, and the superhero theme is literal: people are invited to dress as their favorite superhero. The current race uses Two Rivers Park, while the first edition followed a route around the UAMS campus and started on Jack Stephens Drive. The event began with UAMS physician assistant students, and it also helps draw attention to the physician assistant profession in Arkansas. Its fundraising target is concrete: the Food for Kids Program sends backpacks of food home with students, and the organizers say every dollar provides food for five children. Since the first race, the series has raised more than $96,000 for child hunger programs in Arkansas.

The event focuses on breast cancer awareness, honoring survivors, supporting those in treatment, and encouraging prevention and early detection. Dr. Kim Leverett, a breast cancer survivor and owner of A Kick Above: A Personal Training Studio, hosts the event. Net proceeds benefit the Arkansas Cancer Coalition's efforts in cancer education, prevention, and screening.

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.

The City of Colleges Half Marathon begins and ends on the University of Central Arkansas campus in Conway, located approximately 30 miles from Little Rock. This autumn road race offers a half marathon, 10K, 5K, Fun Run, and virtual participation.

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.

Entry fees fund adoption awareness and Project Zero’s efforts to connect Arkansas children in foster care with permanent families. The specific cause addresses the more than 3,200 kids waiting in foster care in Arkansas, and nearly 150 children and teens whose parental rights have been terminated are awaiting adoption. Race shirts and medals are guaranteed only for those who register by the October deadline.

Some participants might finish after a 10k, while more competitive runners can aim for a distance near 50k within the time limit. The atmosphere is local and lighthearted: trail runners share miles on the same loop, and the event incorporates Sasquatch folklore with mentions of potential sightings in the park.

The Ghost-to-Gobble 5k & 1-Mile is a fall race held on the UCA campus, featuring a certified 5K and a family-friendly 1-mile fun run.
