WHAT. A. DAY.

Fayetteville showed UP! Thank you to everyone who ran, volunteered, and to our police officers and firefighters who helped make this one of our best Hero Half Marathons yet. We’re so grateful for this community and everyone who made today possible. Pictures are coming soon, so stay tuned!

We couldn’t have done it without the support of our amazing sponsors! A huge thank-you to our presenting sponsor, Lewis Ford Automotive Group, along with Chambers Bank, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arkansas, Rise Physical Therapy, OzarksGo, and Natural State Run Club for helping make this event happen.

A special shoutout to AESCANWA for all the dog swag and Einstein Bros. Bagels for keeping our runners fueled with post-race snacks! And don’t forget, Columbus House Brewery is offering 25% off this weekend when you show your race bib or medal!

Thank you for showing up and making this race so special. We can’t wait to see you at the next one! Register for our Turkey Trot ‘N’ Trek today — link in bio!
