US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION The Scorchin’ Squirrel is a trail race through Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center’s 1200 acres located just 10 miles west of Little Rock.  There are 4 distance options: a 10kish (1 loop), 11.5 mile (2 loops), 15.5 mile (3 loops) or 19.5 mile (4 loops). All distances are approximate.  Each loop passes through 1 full aid station and one water drop.   There will be refreshments at the end with a cook out at the pool.  Please bring stuff to share although Fleet Feet Little Rock and Ferncliff will provide burgers and hot dogs.  We will begin serving food at 10 AM.  No glass containers please.  No pets. This is a great race for heat training and for trying out trail running with the shorter distances.  There is quite a bit of incline (heheh) throughout the course and a few water crossings in wet weather. All the distances end back at the start of the race, which is at the Ferncliff pool pavilion.  The pool will be open after the race.  It has a large covered pavili

The 501 Sole Runners proudly present the inaugural Paint the Path Purple for Pancreatic Cancer 5K, a community event dedicated to raising awareness about pancreatic cancer and honoring the individuals and families impacted by this disease across Arkansas. Pancreatic cancer continues to affect far too many Arkansans, often with limited early detection options and significant financial and emotional burdens on families. This race was created to bring the community together to support awareness, advocacy, and hope while encouraging healthier lifestyles through movement and wellness. Participants of all fitness levels are invited to walk, run, and remember alongside survivors, caregivers, and loved ones. A special Memorial Mile will honor those who have battled pancreatic cancer and those we have lost. Proceeds from the Paint the Path Purple 5K will assist families navigating pancreatic cancer treatment, easing barriers and offering support during one of the most difficult times in their lives. Join us as we paint the path purple and take steps toward awareness, support, and hope for Arkansas families. Register as an Individual or Team Want to participate with friends, family, coworkers, or a community group? During registration, you can choose to join an existing team or create your own team.
