Whether you're tackling the full marathon, testing yourself in the half-marathon, running the Booneville 10K, or enjoying the 5K walk/run, you'll experience a race day unlike any other. A Race With CharacterForget crowded corrals and stressful logistics. The Arkansas Marathon offers runners something increasingly rare: an intimate, authentic racing experience set against the backdrop of stunning natural beauty. Our road course winds along the northern boundary of the Ouachita National Forest with breathtaking views of Mt. Magazine—the tallest mountain in an 11-state region. As you run, don't be surprised if you share the road with local wildlife including deer, turkey, squirrels, and the occasional rabbit. The CourseAll four races feature an out-and-back design, meaning no buses, no waiting in line, and no complicated race-day transportation. You'll start and finish at the same location in downtown Booneville (123 N Broadway, Booneville, AR 72927), making race day logistics refreshingly simple with easy parking and convenient access for spectators. The course showcases the natural splendor where the Ozark National Forest and Ouachita National Forest meet, offering runners a scenic tour through one of Arkansas's most beautiful regions. Race HistorySince its inception, the Arkansas Marathon has built a proud tradition. The course records stand as testament to the race's challenging yet rewarding nature:
More Than Just a RaceThe Arkansas Marathon finishes right in the heart of Booneville's October Daze fall festival, transforming race day into a full community celebration. While you're conquering your distance, your family and friends can enjoy local shopping, live music, food vendors, and small-town hospitality. It's the perfect way to make your race a full day—or full weekend—experience. Why Choose the Arkansas Marathon?
