About the Jacob Wells 3 Bridges Marathon

This memorial race honors Jacob Wells and supports the Run4Jacob Foundation. Its field is smaller than Little Rock's major spring marathon, with a focused river-trail atmosphere.

Course

The route uses paved river trails and crosses three bridges in the Little Rock area. Bridge approaches add short climbs to an otherwise manageable profile.

Race-day weather

Early December often delivers cool conditions, but Arkansas can bring rain, wind, or a warm spell. River exposure makes wind especially noticeable.
