Toad Suck Daze 10k/5k Run and Tadpole Trot
2023-05-06 08:00 - 12:00 | Conway High School, 2300 Prince Street, Conway, AR, 72034, United States
We are so excited to announce the 41st Annual Toad Suck Daze 10K and 5K Race for the Kiwanis Club of Conway. We would also like to thank our presenting sponsor for this year’s race, Conway Regional Health Systems!
We are also happy to announce that this year’s race has been designated as a Grand Prix Race by the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA)!
The Tad Pole Trot, Presented by Centennial Bank will take place May 5th at 5:45 pm at the Conway High School track. This will be a short race and is for kids ages 3-10 years old. Prizes and t-shirts are available!
The Toad Suck Daze 10K Race was started by the Conway Kiwanis Club in 1982 and run in conjunction with the then-new Toad Suck Daze Festival. In 1984, First National Bank (now Regions) began a race in memory of a fellow employee, Randy Baker, who died of cancer. The Randy Baker 8K was conducted for two years, with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. In 1986, the Conway Kiwanis Club approached Regions Bank, and the two races were combined. The annual Toad Suck Daze Run is held in memory of Randy Baker, with proceeds benefiting non-profit agencies supporting children in the Faulkner County community. The 2022 recipients included: Children’s Advocacy Alliance, Community Connections, Community Service Inc, Compass Academy, HAVEN, Main Stage Education Series at Reynolds Performance Hall, Conway Area Youth Leadership Institute, and Milestones Services Inc.
Today, the Run includes both a 10K and a 5K Run/Walk, a Wheelchair event, a Tadpole Trot for children ages 3-10. Since its inception, the run has contributed over $450,000 to support local non-profits, and the Run strives to increase its contributions to the Faulkner County community each year.
Online registration will be cut off Thursday, May 4th at 11:59 pm. Runners can still register for the race by filling out paper registration forms at:
-Conway Regional Fitness Center, May 5, 2023 – 12 pm – 6 pm

Heather Ridley-Fleeman Battle for Hope
2023-05-06 07:30 - 12:00 | Old Tiger Stadium Park, 517 Tiger Blvd, Bentonville, AR, 72712, United States
ABOUT BATTLE FOR HOPE
The Heather Ridley-Fleeman Battle for Hope is a run/walk event held the first Saturday in May each year at the Old Tiger Stadium in Bentonville. The event began in 2005 as a way to honor the life of Heather Ridley-Fleeman and raise awareness of colon cancer. Heather died in 2004 at the young age of 28 after a long battle with colon cancer.
The following year, a close group of Heather’s family and friends partnered with Hope Cancer Resources to help make sure other cancer patients have access to the care they need during treatment and to educate individuals that early detection does save lives.
During her life, Heather was a member of the Walmart supplier community. She was also dedicated to supporting agencies that work to help cancer patients through treatments and make state-of-the-art cancer research locally accessible.
By participating in Battle for Hope, you can help Hope Cancer Resources continue the mission of providing cancer support and education to cancer patients in Northwest Arkansas. Register online today. All proceeds from Battle for Hope go directly to Hope Cancer Resources. Individual runners and walkers, as well as teams are encouraged to participate. Sponsorships are available as well.

Loop together many different trail routes, ranging from beginner to expert. Start at the top or the bottom and pick your own adventure. The Miller’s Goat green trail runs a bit easier counterclockwise and connects the expert and advanced routes. The Chickalah and Hayes Creek Run Downhill are the only bike-only trails so be mindful of the other users. The Ox-Pull Climb trail is a biker-up hill-only trail. Hikers can go both directions.
If you’re interested in maximum gravity, shuttle by dropping off at Sunrise and rolling down the Sunrise Loop, across Miller’s Goat to the Hayes Creek Run downhill, and getting picked up at the base of the mountain for a 3.5 mile, 1,100ft descent.
The park features a public swimming pool, cabins, a campground, a visitor center with a bike wash station, and countless miles of hiking trails.
