About the Arkansas Marathon
One of Arkansas's established marathon traditions, this race keeps its field and logistics modest. Runners come for a straightforward rural challenge rather than big-city production.
Course
The road course leaves Booneville for rolling countryside before returning to town. Open sections and gradual elevation changes reward measured effort and comfort running alone.
Race-day weather
October can begin cool and become warm under clear skies. Wind is noticeable on exposed rural roads, and aid planning matters in a smaller event.
