Joe running at Mount Nebo.

The Go! Mile has always set itself apart from other summertime races with it’s unique, shorter distance. This year’s Go! Mile, however, carries a few other distinctions as well. It has been designated as a State Championship event in the Arkansas Grand Prix Series, and has also been named an RRCA South-Regional Championship race. For [...]

Profiles in Motion: Interview with Riverfest Rock-N-Stroll Race Director, Katie McManners

Be one of the first 50 and get one of these prints done by George H. Wittenberg, III.

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 [...]

dulce-running

Perfect temperatures and clear skies brought together roughly 70 runners all ready to trample the trail early Saturday morning. For some, this race was a way to meet up with familiar friends for the monthly organized trail run put on by the Arkansas Ultra Running Association (AURA). For others, it was their final opportunity in [...]

Go! Mile Wednesday – Meet A Runner (Part 3) – Jeff Matthews

Local radio personality, Jeff Matthews (on the right) will be going a mile.

As June 15th fast approaches, our excitement about the Go! Mile is mounting. There really is something almost magical about it…. you may typically be the type of person who arrives at a race with just enough time to get in your warm up, and jogs just enough beyond the finish line to get back [...]

Warrior Dash Arkansas 2013

An urban feature.

As a red head there are few things about the beach I like. First I only come in two colors: red and white. There is no tanning for me; so, once I get my fill of swimming, there’s nothing for me to do. Second after applying 50 layers of sunscreen, sand gets into crevices you [...]

Outback in the Rain and Snow

Looking to pass the baton.

By the Light of the Moon

...and ends in the dark.

Last year I decided to join in the fun of a night time “trail” run on the forest roads around Lake Sylvia West of Little Rock. In years past, this race has been put on by the running community as a come out, sign up, donate if you want to, run and then stick around [...]

Going for Distance

outbackinozarks_logo

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.  [...]
