This race is an example of you get what you pay for. A very inexpensive race that checked Arkansas off my list. I was hoping for a scenic country race. Instead, I spent most of the time avoiding road kill. I love to run some of the small town races, this wasn’t one of them.
The people associated with the race were nice enough but I didn’t get to participate in the postrace meal as I never received directions as to its location, only to find out later that is was in the school cafeteria. The shirts are not tech shirts, but I guess you shouldn’t expect that for the price. The “wood” medals were a disappointment.
Of the 25 states I have completed so far, this was the most disappointing.

Good, not great
This was like running at home, you enjoy running, so it's nice to be outside, but sometimes you expect a little more...scenery or something. I'm not dissatisfied with this race, … MORE
This was like running at home, you enjoy running, so it’s nice to be outside, but sometimes you expect a little more…scenery or something. I’m not dissatisfied with this race, but I probably wouldn’t go back. If it fits the schedule, try it out, maybe even cross Arkansas off of the list, it is cheap.
For the record, I didn’t love the medal.
Wonderful Rural Marathon
Beautiful rural run in Arkansas next to Autumn fields. One section of busy highway on the front and tail of the race, otherwise rural highway. (Sloped road.) Great course support... … MORE
Beautiful rural run in Arkansas next to Autumn fields. One section of busy highway on the front and tail of the race, otherwise rural highway. (Sloped road.) Great course support… not many cheerleaders.
