As Always a FREE family run – simply bring a canned food or cash donation for the Arkansas Foodbank. Register to run and to be eligible for Prizes (to be announced). Due to the costs we incur to put on this ever growing fun run, we ask for an small donation that can be made during registration to offset the cost of additional expenses (like porta-potties, Insurance, Police support, ambulance, water stops, and course markings).

You won’t want to miss this!
T-Shirts! We’ll let you know soon about shirts.
