This was my 6th or 7th time running the Go! and I think it was the best yet. The race starts in Forest Park and ends in downtown under the Arch. The course has improved from years past by strategically placing hills at the beginning, except for the very cruel uphill finish. This was one of those finishes where you think you’re about to come across the finish line, but then turn the corner at mile 26.1 only to see a steep uphill finish. Other than that, I actually appreciated the 10 mile out and back along the river because it was very flat and the breeze felt pretty nice.
However, areas where the race could improve is the expo. It needs to be indoors. They should’ve known the the unpredictability of the weather that it could cause an issue with it being held outside. Moreover, because it was a general outdoor expo, there were very few running-focused booths. Along the race itself, the port potty’s were sparse, although there were probably 50 at the beginning and end. The end of the race few was pretty typical; however, they didn’t give us a bag to carry our goodies, so I wasn’t able to pick up everything they were handing out. Overall, it was an excellent day, and I recommend this race to anyone looking for a Missouri race.

This was the second time I ran Little Rock, but the first time I ran the marathon (did the half in 2020). Ran it with my dad who is a slower runner. The only thing we were disappointed with was that they basically ran out of food if you finished from 5:50 on. All they had was potato chips and soda. Other than they, it was great weather and, of course, a great medal. The hills on the back end of the course are modest. This is where you get a lot of your elevation from. I was also impressed by the course support throughout the race. There were tons of volunteers handing out fuel. I think I counted 16 water stations in total. Would definitely recommend to a beginner marathoner.

My dad and I drove from St. Louis for this race and we were not disappointed. We did the half marathon (#8 for me). For the last couple of years it had rained during race day, but we got very lucky this year with sunshine and 65 degree temps. Every year, they have a different theme to the race and this year was 80’s themed. Everything was themed from e.g. the race expo, the medal, the bib.
The course itself had a large out-and-back section. This was between miles 5 through 8, if I remember correctly. I personally don’t like out-and-backs, but to each their own. The race was fueled with bananas, so if you’re use to other fueling sources like gels, I suggest that you bring your own. Another thing that I thought was really cute was the L’Oreal lipstick booth right before the finish line. I definitely recommend this race to midwesterners. The bling is awesome and an overall fun experience.
