About the race
The Arkansas Marathon, held annually in Booneville, Arkansas, is one of the South's oldest and most scenic marathons. The event features multiple race distances including a full marathon, half marathon, 10K run, and 5K walk/run, all following out-and-back courses. Runners enjoy beautiful views of Mt.
Magazine, the tallest mountain in 11 states, and the unique setting along the boundary of the Ozark and Ouachita National Forests. The race offers a relaxed atmosphere with easy parking, minimal crowding, and wildlife sightings. Aid stations and restrooms are well-placed along the route, and post-race amenities include showers and a relaxation area with free beer and pizza.
The marathon coincides with the October Daze Fall Festival, providing entertainment for families. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
