A clothing drop will be at Mile 2\, where you may leave any clothing to be delivered to the finish line. \n Awards \nAwards will go to the top three males and females overall and masters and to the top three males and females in five-year age groups starting with 19 and under through 75+. \nThe awards ceremony will be held at 12 p.m. for the overall winners. Following the ceremony\, age group awards may be picked up at the information booth as soon as the results in that age group have been verified and finalized by the timing company. Early starters may not pick up awards until their age groups have been verified and all regular starters in their age group have finished. \nCourse \nThe course is almost entirely on the Arkansas River Trail and is a 19-mile loop to the east and then a 7-mile loop to the west. The course crosses the Big Dam Bridge at Miles 1 and 18\, the Clinton Presidential Bridge at Mile 9\, and the Two Rivers Bridge at Miles 19 and 26.

We discourage placing valuables in drop bags. \nThe drop bag area is a U-Haul parked at the Start/Finish line area near where you will be dropped off by the 3 Bridges Marathon trolley. It will be December in Arkansas\, so it could be 20 degrees or 70 degrees and may change that much overnight. Bring plenty of warm clothes for after the race. You may retrieve your bag immediately upon finishing\, get warm\, and enjoy food\, music\, and fellowship. \nEarly Start \nAn early start of 5:00 am will be allowed for those expecting to take between six and eight hours. Runners expecting to take longer than six hours are asked to take the early start option or may be removed from the course. Runners taking the early start and finishing significantly faster than six hours may be disqualified. \nIndicate Early Start with your online registration. If you did not indicate so with your online registration\, email your request to info@3bridgesmarathon.com with the email subject EARLY START.   You may not take the early start option unless you have registered online with your normal race registration or received an email confirmation of your post-registration email request. Runners starting early without having registered to do so are subject to disqualification. If you are unsure\, confirm at packet pickup that you are on the registered early start list. \nSee the Parking instructions for early starters. Early starters are responsible for being at the starting line at 5:00 a.m. Early Starters will park near the boat dock at River Mountain Park (4468 River Mountain Road\, Little Rock\, AR). \nEarly starters are eligible for awards in every age group but may not pick up their awards at the information booth until all regular starters in that age group have completed the race and the timing company has declared the results in that age group to be final. \nFacebook \nCheck us out at www.facebook.com/3bridgesmarathon. If you aren’t a follower\, please become one because this is a great benefit to our sponsors\, and it is the quickest way to get up to the minute race information. \nFee \nThe registration fee for the 3 Bridges Marathon is non-refundable. Registration for the marathon is $115 plus service fee. Late registration will be offered at packet pick-up for $140 plus $3 service fee through Paypal or Venmo\, or cash. There is no race day registration. \nHalf Marathon \nThere is no half marathon option or other race distance. \nInformation Booth \nThere will be an information tent at the Start/Finish where you may address issues and ask questions. Shirt exchanges will be accommodated based on availability by request at the information booth on race day FOLLOWING THE RACE START.

We thank Rock City Running for hosting us! \nParking Instructions \nDetailed Parking instructions are listed here. Do not attempt to drive down or to park on or at the bottom of River Mountain Road after the Early Start. This area is reserved for race officials\, volunteers\, and emergency vehicles. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification and ban from future 3 Bridges events. \nPhotographs \nRace photographs will be taken by Marvin Winston and his team from Run Bike Swim Photos. Signs will indicate upcoming photographers. You will be contacted after the race with proofs and purchase information. Photos can be ordered at www.runbikeswimphotos.com. \nPost-Race Activities \nPost-race finish line activities will include the awards ceremony at noon and food and beverages for runners\, friends\, and family. \nRace Results \nRace results will be provided immediately by Garner Timing Services on your smartphone through the RunSignUp.com Results app in your app store. Provide your bib number to your family and friends for an instant finishing time. Full race results will be posted at garnertiming.com. Race results will also be provided to MarathonGuide. \nSafety \nMedical personnel from Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services (MEMS) will be on hand at the Start/Finish and patrolling the course. Law enforcement will be on hand at the Start/Finish and at every section of the course that converges with traffic. \nFor the short sections of the Arkansas River Trail that converge with the roadway\, runners must remain aware of vehicular traffic at all times. Runners must remain to the right side of the roadway\, observe course monitors’ instruction\, and proceed through intersections with caution. Race numbers should be securely pinned to the front of your clothing and visible at all times. \nStrollers\, rollerblades\, skates\, unauthorized vehicles\, and pets are strictly prohibited to ensure runner safety. Pets are prohibited on the 3 Bridges Marathon trolley\, except for service animals. \nShirts \nShirts are long-sleeve unisex technical fabric. Select from XS\, S\, M\, L\, XL\, and XXL at the time of registration. Shirt sizes may be exchanged on race day at the Rock City Running information tent subject to availability. Shirt exchanges will not be mailed after race day. \nSpectator Guide \nSee the Spectators guide prepared for your friends and family to enjoy the day cheering for you along the course. You will not find another course on trails this beautiful that is also this accessible. The guide includes directions\, descriptions\, and approximate mile marks for numerous viewing areas. Your friends and family may see you many times\, often twice at one stop in a short period. Better yet\, have your friends and family volunteer for an early or late shift and cheer the other half of the day! \nThe course is almost entirely on the Arkansas River Trail system. However\, in a few short stretches\, roads with vehicular access converge with sections of the trail. Although we know you will be very mindful of traffic and there will be police officers at these locations\, please remind your friends and family that if they drive near the course to be courteous and careful. \nTime Limit \nThe race begins at 7:00 a.m. There is a 6 hour time limit for the regular start. There is an early start option at 5:00 a.m. for runners planning to take between 6 and 8 hours. There is an 8 hour time limit for the early start. See details under Early Start above. Runners expecting to take longer than six hours are asked to take the early start option or may be removed from the course. \nTravel \nThere is no host hotel and no hotel within walking distance to the parking lots. Race shuttles will not offer pickups from hotels. Prior transportation plans are encouraged. \nParticipants staying at local hotels may have a cab bring them to the race parking lot\, and then ride the shuttle to the starting line. Cabs will only be allowed to deliver participants to the starting line for the Early Start. Instructing your cab to drive down River Mountain Road for the regular start may result in disqualification and ban from future 3 Bridges events. \nVolunteers \nIt takes a tremendous number of volunteers to carry out a marathon. See Volunteers for clubs and organizations involved. Every major running club in central Arkansas has committed members and resources to make the 3 Bridges Marathon possible. If you would like to volunteer write info@3bridgesmarathon.com. \nWaiver \nThe marathon waiver is included with your online registration. Specifically note the Event Policies tab regarding cancellations\, registration refunds\, deferral option\, waiting list\, transfers\, and inclement weather. Online signature of the waiver upon registration acknowledges your understanding and adherence to all event policies. \nThank you for complying with all runner instructions.

SUMMARY:CXMas in Little Rock
DESCRIPTION:Come play bikes with us! \nBut…What is cyclocross anyway?! \nWeellll…it’s kinda like if a road bike and a mountain bike and a cross country running event all got mashed together! \nCyclocross is the best spectator friendly cycling event there is. ‘Cross races are held on short 1.5 to 2 mile laps that will mostly consist of grass and sometimes mud but can include sand\, artificial barriers\, hills\, off camber sections\, forced runs\, and just about any dumb thing we can find in the park to make the race more fun to do but also to watch! We strive to make the race fun for everyone that comes out; from beginners and youth racers to the most experienced elite racers in Arkansas but especially to spectators! SHAM endeavors to make as much of the race course visible from as many spots along the way as possible\, but especially at the start/finish line so you can cheer on  your friends and family and all the other racers out for a fun day in the sun…or mud…or maybe snow…but probably mud! \nCXmas in Little Rock\nDate: Saturday\, December 21\, 2024\nVenue: War Memorial Park\, 5101 W Markham St\, Little Rock\, AR 72205 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTIME \n\n\nCATEGORY \n\n\nFIELD \n\n\nDURATION \n\n\nENTRY \n\n\nAWARDS \n\n\n\n\n10:30 am \n\n\nCat 1/2/3/4/5 Junior Male 15-18 \n\n\n50 \n\n\n30 min \n\n\n$15 prereg\, $20 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n10:30 am \n\n\nCat 1/2/3/4/5 Junior Female 15-18 \n\n\n50 \n\n\n30 min \n\n\n$15 prereg\, $20 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n10:30 am \n\n\nYouth Male 10-14 \n\n\n50 \n\n\n2 laps \n\n\n$15 prereg\, $20 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n10:30 am \n\n\nYouth Female 10-14 \n\n\n50 \n\n\n2 laps \n\n\n$15 prereg\, $20 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n10:30 am \n\n\nSinglespeed Cat 1/2/3/4/5 Male \n\n\n50 \n\n\n30 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n10:30 am \n\n\nSinglespeed Cat 1/2/3/4/5 Female \n\n\n50 \n\n\n30 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n10:30am \n\n\nCat 5 / Novice Male \n\n\n50 \n\n\n30 min \n\n\n$15 prereg\, $20 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n10:30 am \n\n\nCat 5 / Novice Female \n\n\n50 \n\n\n30 min \n\n\n$15 prereg\, $20 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n11:10 am \n\n\nCat 4 / 5 Male \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n11:10 am \n\n\nCat 4 / 5 Female \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n11:10 am \n\n\nMasters Cat 1/2/3/4/5 40-49 and 50+ Male \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n11:10 am \n\n\nMasters Cat 1/2/3/4/5 40-49 and 50+ Female \n\n\n50 \n\n\n40 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n12:00 pm \n\n\nCat 3/4 Female \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n12:00 pm \n\n\nCat 3/4 Male \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\nPrizes/3 \n\n\n\n\n12:00 pm \n\n\nCat 1/2 Female \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\n$50/$40/$30 \n\n\n\n\n12:00 pm \n\n\nCat 1/2 Male \n\n\n50 \n\n\n50 min \n\n\n$25 prereg\, $30 raceday \n\n\n$50/$40/$30 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirections: Exit 630 onto University going North.

Each individual is encouraged to use appropriate caution and is responsible for his or her own safety.  Additionally\, if runners choose to run outside the designated loop they need to do so at their own discretion\, as the streets around the park will be open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Last Chance Cup – Benefiting Arkansas Food Bank\n\nCurrently 1 in 6 Arkansans struggle to provide enough food for their family\, and 1 in 5 children in Arkansas are at risk for going hungry.  As the largest hunger-relief organization in the state\, The Arkansas Foodbank is the foundation in the fight against hunger. They find pathways to connect people\, resources and food to reach those in need\, providing dignity\, hope and a brighter future for all Arkansans. \nWe will once again be having a friendly competition for the Last Chance Run Cup that will culminate at midnight on December 31\, 2024.  The winning club will be determined based on the number of meals provided per club member with every $1 donated being equal to 5 meals.  In the first two years the event has raised nearly $16\,000 in donations and 2\,106 lbs of food were collected..  As a result more than 83\,000 meals were able to be provided to Arkansans because of the generosity of our running community!  Let’s continue to add to that amazing total this year! \n**Please note that we will only be doing online donations.  No food will be collected the day of the event. \nDonations are not required\, but are encouraged.  If you are part of a club please make any cash donations by clicking on the club name below.  If you aren’t part of a running club\, but wish to make a donation\, you can either donate on behalf of a club of your choice or visit www.arkansasfoodbank.org. \nArk Running Klub – https://arkansasfoodbank.donorsupport.co/-/NGGAWBYK?member=SKMMXGCZ \nBlue Rose Running Co.  – https://arkansasfoodbank.donorsupport.co/-/NHEAUQKN?member=SZMQZYKC \nCabot Country Cruisers – https://arkansasfoodbank.donorsupport.co/-/NVEHZJFN?member=SKTLSCXT \nConway Running Club – https://arkansasfoodbank.donorsupport.co/-/NLRJGUZY?member=SBYGNDTC \nLittle Rock Roadrunners  –  https://arkansasfoodbank.donorsupport.co/-/NBLCDFBD?member=SSAKFADS \nRiver Valley Runners – https://arkansasfoodbank.donorsupport.co/-/NXLTLBGF?member=SCTHFPCE \nSaline County Striders – https://arkansasfoodbank.donorsupport.co/-/NYBLZFES?member=SRFJRTXZ \nSpa Pacers – https://arkansasfoodbank.donorsupport.co/-/NYDSBDEN?member=SHBFYSGE
