This year the race offered a third medal for doing both the half and 5k. The 5k started at 8:15pm,which gave us plenty of time to drive in from Memphis (about 3 hrs). the packet pickup for the half that same night was open til about 10p.The half marathon packet pickup has two lines based on last name. I did love the ability to change the shirt size if it was too large. There was a 5k shirt, a half pullover and a race shirt. Prior to race start, there was a large photo backdrop and numerous props, kiddie areas vendor booths, food trucks and other areas to occupy time. The 5k glow run had a table with various glowing wearables to use during the race. 5k course was nice that went thru the Russellville school campus. volunteers at the water stations, music blasting, and flashing lights. Lots of interaction between runners/walkers and volunteers. The residents of the town were also out on their lawns cheering as well. Very hospitable!!! The weather was slightly warm this weekend. So I would advise packing a warm weather outfit in addition to other items as some may not know that Arkansas weather can be unpredictable.

Great family race. The only minor detail is that some areas a dark (small town=limited street lamps). Despite this, everyone is glowing so getting lost is not an issue. Enjoyed the race!!

Overall a great race, I would most definitely do it again next year if my race schedule allows.awesome town and energetic and plentiful course support.
