Running with the Cows 🏆
Hot and repetitive but a lot of food.

This is a small race, very well done as far as production(support stations, announcers, and parking) The food at the end is great, nothing to get excited about as far as quality but a lot of food and just a good time. Because its a small race its not as electric as other races. A lot of time you feel like your running by yourself. The course is kind of goofy. It has a loop in but then two additional out and backs. A lot of rolling hills with a total elevation gain of almost 500 feet. There isn’t a lot of shade and its held in May, so the sun can get brutal. It was 70 degrees by the time I finished and I felt hot. Your entry fee goes to a good cause and you feel like they are using most of it for that reason, which is great. There isn’t much swag besides shirt (not a workout shirt) and medal. There isn’t an expo, the pick was held at a sports store, which was only for picking up shirt and tag. This was overall a good race but it was a one and done for me. Its not a race for beginners. I’m thankful I got to do it.

Great small town run with a lot of participants. We were supposed to have 6k runners this year but rain forced it to be moved to Sunday instead of Saturday. I believe this cut the runner participation and the cheering down by half, however the production was great, especially given the circumstances, didn’t seem to miss a beat. There are 3 1/2 uphills in this course. Mile 2 and 3 hill isn’t light but not bad. Mile 11 to 12 is the worst in my opinion and is what I call the half of a hill. You don’t realize your gaining elevation with your eyes but you gain the same amount of elevation in one mile as you do at the beginning of mile 12 (the flyover). This is the worst because mentally you don’t understand why you feel like your going so slow and then you go right into the flyover hill. This is the biggest hill in the course and its almost a quarter of a mile. 3/4 of the hill is up a suspended bridge and the end of the bridge feels like a false summit. Then the toughest part starts, after the bridge. You enter two switch backs which are the steepest part of the hill. Then you get a half mile of mostly flat but some rolling terrain till you get to the final hill. The final hill is the toughest for many because they don’t know its there. Its smaller then the flyover and it has two tiers. Its not terrible but if the flyover took all your gas, you will hate the final hill. Then its a quarter of a mile to the finish after the final hill on flat terrain.
This is a great half, granted its only my second half but thinks it worth doing. I don’t love the first half of it because it basically loops on it self and you are basically back to the beginning by mile 6, though you may not know that if you aren’t a local or you aren’t familiar with the course. The first 6 miles has the worst scenery but the last 7 has really good scenery, especially the last 3 miles. Mile 9 to 10, you go down a huge hill, then the real race begins from mile 10 (dog part) to the finish. I will do it again if wife wants to and I still live here.

This was a while ago but I remember the expo was great, the support at the end was great and it was over before I knew it. Also this was the best time I have done for an official half. I don’t remember it being very difficult terrain. Sceneray was through the city and the governors mansion.
Little Rock Marathon
This was the year of the storm I think

Long time ago but remember the crowd participation, the race being canceled during the race do to weather. Chose to continue to run because I was at mile 24. The medal was awesome and the expo was awesome. Challenging race especially the out and back at the river around mile 18. Would of been better not for the weather but can’t be helped
