The first One Hour Track Run was held in 1983 as part of Grand Prix II. This run took place in Russellville at the Arkansas Tech University track. The One Hour Track Run was eliminated after one year as the Grand Prix was trimmed to a core of four races for most of the 1980’s. Later incarnations of a One Hour Track Run were located in El Dorado and later Camden, Arkansas, and were a Grand Prix staple in the 1990’s. After 1998, the One Hour Track Run ceased to be run until the Long Distance Running Committee decided to revive it as part of the 25th Running of the Grand Prix in 2006. Fittingly, the One Hour Track Run returned to Russellville for Grand Prix XXV, and was held at the Russellville High School Track.
The course is a standard, 400 meter track. Very Flat! Aid stations every 1/4 mile!
ONE HOUR TRACK RUN WILL BE AT Russellville High School, Russellville,AR 72802

MORE INFO ABOUT HASH – The Little Rock Hash House Harriers is part of the loosely organized group of clubs known collectively as the “Hash”. Since its founding in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the Hash has spread to most of the larger cities of the world, following the simple philosophy: “Running should be fun.” Based on the English game of “Hound and the Hare”, the Hash involves a group of runners (the “Hounds”) who try to follow a trail marked in flour or toilet paper by the leader (the “Hare”). The ultimate goal is to find the finish (the “On-In”) where vast quantities of beer and other refreshments are consumed.The Little Rock Hash House Harriers, founded in 1974, is one of the oldest Hash chapters in the United States.

We are excited to announce that this year we will again have honor bibs.

The first 100 participants will also receive a memorial bracelet in honor of an Arkansas Fallen Hero.
If you are participating in the in person 5K event, you will need to be able to maintain a 10 minute/mile pace for the 5K. This is not a race. Rather, it is a memorial run where participants run as a group to collectively honor the fallen heroes who were individually honored over the weekend. Runners will need to report to the state Capitol on Sunday, March 23rd by 1:00pm to be transported to the start of the run. The run will conclude at the state Capitol at approximately 2:15 pm and will be followed by a closing ceremony at 2:30pm.
The shirt deadline is March 1, 2025. Please register before then to ensure you receive the size you would like. For more information about the run and the heroes that we honor please visit www.arkansasrunforthefallen.org
