Little Rock Marathon
The Little Rock Marathon is held in Little Rock, Arkansas, as part of a race weekend in early March. The course is USATF certified and serves as a Boston qualifier. The start and finish are located on LaHarpe Blvd and the event is a project of and benefits Little Rock Parks & Recreation.
Registration includes participant amenities such as free official training, a digital race book, access to pacers, a participant shirt and personalized race number if registered by the registration deadline, course entertainment, and plentiful aid stations. Marathon finishers receive a large finisher's medal, a digital finisher's certificate available online in mid-April, and post-race festivities.
The marathon enforces time limits: runners in the general field have a six hour finish window while approved Early Start athletes have up to eight hours. The Early Start is intended for athletes who need six to eight hours to complete the marathon; applicants for the Early Start must be approved by the race registrar and may be asked to provide proof of prior finish times. Early Start athletes must not exceed a 13:44 minutes per mile pace and must remain with or behind the six-hour pacers or face disqualification. Approved Early Start athletes receive a distinct color bib and corral assignment.
