Last year, over one hundred and sixty runners participated in the Winslow Half Marathon & 5K in the beautiful Boston Mountains of northwest Arkansas. Winslow is a town of approximately 400 people, located in the southernmost part of Washington County, Arkansas, about halfway between Fayetteville and Fort Smith.
The modern community is scattered among rocky hills and green valleys whose fast-moving creeks form the headwaters of the White River. At the southern edge of the Ozark Mountains, Winslow is the highest incorporated city in the state of Arkansas, with an elevation of 1,756 feet, providing a varied and appealing landscape for anyone who enjoys time outdoors.
As always, the proceeds from the race will be used to fund valuable programs in our community, such as the Winslow Public Library, the Winslow Town Museum, and Winslow Meals.

This was one of the worst half marathons I’ve ran (and I’ve ran nearly 20 halfs). The course was very hilly which I was expecting but also very boring and there were no spectators. The finish line is about 1 mile from where people park they’re cars for the start; there is no shuttle to get back and also no directions as to how to get back. Me and another guy meandered along til we finally found the lot. Also, the food at the end costs money. The only upside was the shirt was nice.
