The race has been part of the Arkansas RRCA Grand Prix Series since 1994. \nCourse Description\nRace starts leaving Fair park and going East on Park drive.

The now weary runners will take Grady north to 7th Street where a left turn is made. The route angles to the southwest onto Park Dr. The road then turns back due west for the final straightaway. It is now time for the runners to begin their finishing kicks as the 3 mile marker and the finish line back in Fair Park are finally in sight!
