Everything you need to know about playing outside in The Natural State.
The official grand opening of Rock City Running was June 1. Customers have had time to get a feel for the store as it opened its doors to the public on May 25. There were giveaways and samples throughout the rainy day. The rain didn’t stop customers from dropping by to get a glimpse at [...]
Memorial Day weekend in Little Rock wouldn’t be complete without Riverfest. The food, music, fireworks, and heat are an integral part of the tradition. The Rock-N-Stroll 5k Fun Run/Walk is looking to add to the tradition. This is the fourth year of the race, but Katie’s first year to chair the committee. What she lacks in experience [...]
Hood to Coast burst onto the scene on August 7, 1982. Known as the “Mother of All Relays,” it paved the way for several others. The mystique and attraction to these types of events are the victories, mishaps, and unpredictability. I guarantee any person that has been involved with an overnight relay has a story. [...]
Running unites us and brings us together because, in the words of the great Bill Rodgers, “We sweat the same. We struggle the same.” Running is a simple, primitive act, and therein lays its power. For it is one of the few commonalities left between us as a human race.” – Dean Karnazes, Why Running [...]
When someone thinks of a hilly marathon in Arkansas, Hogeye Marathon tops the list. Although no longer on the top ten list of hilly marathons in the country, the course remains one runners love to hate. If it’s not the weather, it’s the hills, or the wind. With all of those hindrances, it doesn’t stop [...]
Many people go to Petit Jean State Park to see Cedar Falls. I don’t blame them, however, there are more trails awaiting discovery. An easy way to experience them would be to hike/run the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Boy Scout Trail, which combines most of the trails at the state park. If you want to have fun [...]
The legend of Bill Torrey grows with each race he successfully directs. Little Rock Roadrunners (LRRC) have well placed faith in Bill’s experience and leadership. It’s no wonder the Arkansas Grand Prix Race Director of the Year Award was recently renamed in his honor. I’m convinced he can do this in his sleep. He’s that [...]
There may have been a new race director in charge, a new course record set, but there was nothing new about the Cabot Country Cruisers putting on a stellar event. It was the coldest Spring Fling 5k to date, but it was not a deterrent for the 425 finishers – the largest number ever. Instead [...]
I have always wondered what kind of person runs this race. Do they do it for the challenge? Are they determined to accomplish this feat regardless of the circumstances and obstacles? Do they enjoy pushing their bodies to the edge? Are they so stubborn that being sick or injured doesn’t matter? Have they completely lost [...]
Had you told me there were trails north of Batesville, I would’ve easily guessed they were hilly. To my surprise not only were they as I predicted, but they also were pristine. Two distances make up the Highrock Hop Trail Runs. One is a 5-miler, which Sam confessed at the start is closer to 5.5 [...]
