Great endurance race, well organized and a very nice park. My own insanity caused me to tear my Achilles on 2nd 5K loop, hobbled along for 2 more loops, then called it. My girlfriend did finish and had a great time. I will be back for vindication in 2023!

Thoroughly enjoyed this run as my first Ultra! It didn’t seem as intimidating breaking it up into 5K intervals, but it was still a challenge with a run every 2.5 hours and not getting much sleep! The course was easy but scenic along the Arkansas River Trail. The “medal” at the end was a small handmade wooden coffin with the logo branded in it… unique and cool, a great conversation piece. Plenty of food was provided, but I do wish there’d been more drink options and ice.

It was a fun race but very low budget. The bibs did not have any indication that this was Death by 5K – only had a number. Lots of food – we were definitely well fed. I think they should have had more ice at the finish line for the warmest part of the day. The head index was over 110 for 2 of the races. There was also no medical on site. I know a couple people had to drop due to heat exhaustion. I personally had to drop after #6 due to blisters on both feet. When I mentioned this at the finish line I was told “We have some bandaids over there somewhere” – pointing to a large number of boxes.
The t-shirts were cotton – where as the ones from the Memphis Death by 5K were tech shirts.
The ability to set up tents and camp was awesome. Lots of places to chose from.
It was definitely a challenge.
