Thought the shirt and medal were really cool this year! For the 10K, the course was through neighborhoods so there wasn’t a lot of scenery outside of plenty of people cheering from their porches. Plenty of bathrooms before and during the race. Two water stations for the 10K. The race was well organized and the course was flat making for a pretty easy experience. I heard the half marathon ran past some of the downtown area which could have been neat. My biggest critique would be that the 10K was 6.4 miles so over if you’re going for a specific time. Afterwards there was some music and a couple of tents, bananas, pretzels, water and donuts from a local shop. Overall it was a good experience.

Easy parking, friendly volunteers and overall easy to navigate. The guys MC-ing and the guy in the cow costume were great – the cow danced on a hay bale for the runners for 3 hours! The actual course was not my favorite as it was an out and back without much shade and I was hot by the end from just the 5K. Maybe moving the race up a month to April would help? I didn’t personally prefer the shirt this year but really liked the medal! After the race, there’s a huge buffet which was fun – I grabbed some pasta salad, fruit, snacks, and a biscuit and gravy – but there was plenty more. And there were two VERY cute cows at the end to take pics with.

Great expo & swag bag (included a Junk headband, pen, lots of snacks and sample products). The race had to be moved to Sun this year bc of weather; however race day weather turned out to be great. Several support stations and supporters out on the course and bathrooms. Course starts off in Downtown, goes through some neighborhoods, down a trail with a small waterfall and ends going through the paved trail by Crystal Bridges. Save some juice for the end bc there are a couple of big hills before the end! The medal for the 15th anniversary was huge and there was a t-shirt & a finisher hoodie + pizza at the end. Lots of great restaurants and things to see in Bentonville so would make a great weekend trip.
