Race Day Weather
Hot conditions, stay hydrated
Runners will face a steady temperature rise from 58°F at the start to a high of 92°F. Winds will be light, coming from the ESE at 8 mph, with gusts up to 21 mph. Given the humidity at 58%, it's crucial for participants to adjust their pace and prioritize hydration to maintain performance.
The Arkansas Marathon is one of the oldest and most unique marathons in the South. The race is not crowded, parking is easy and the scenery is great. In fact, you may find yourself sharing the road with deer, turkey, squirrels and an odd rabbit or two. The road course places you with the view of Mt. Magazine, the tallest mountain in 11 states, and along the boundary between the Ozark National Forest and the Ouachita National Forest. Our route is unique as all 4 races are out and back. No riding a bus, no waiting in line, just a great day to run. We invite you to come enjoy a great run in a unique Marathon. We are looking forward to seeing you in South Logan County! Source
