What You Need to Know Before Race Day
Registration is $35 in advance or $45 at packet pickup. Race day registration is not available, so lock in your spot ahead of time. If getting your shirt size right matters to you, register before February 13, 2026 to guarantee your size. Shirts go to all participants, but supplies on race day are limited.
Packet pickup is available March 12 and 13 at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC in Bentonville. Plan to arrive with enough time to park and get to the starting area. There’s plenty of parking around the Community Center.
Want to Help Make It Happen?
Run Bentonville is looking for volunteers to help keep things running smoothly on race day. Opportunities include Course Marshal, Finish Line Help, and the Ready for Anything Team. Course Marshals must be 18 or older (or accompanied by an adult) and are responsible for keeping vehicles off the course. Safety vests are provided if you don’t have one. Register as volunteer now and help make the race day happen.
