What You’re Getting

Everyone who registers receives a race shirt. Sizes are guaranteed only if you register by January 19. After that date, shirts are first-come, first-served during packet pickup, with limited availability on race day.

Volunteer Opportunities

Run Bentonville needs course marshals, finish line help, and a Ready For Anything Team. Course marshals (must be 18+ or supervised by an adult) keep vehicles off the route and help runners stay safe. Safety vests are provided. Sign up here to volunteer.
