Event
Details
Runners get a chance to take in the sometimes hilly but always scenic
streets of the home of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville's
Hogeye Marathon, Half Marathon & Relays, a springtime race
event that starts and finishes on the city's beautiful Fayetteville
Square and takes runners along an out-and-back course that winds
through downtown, the university campus and past Razorback Park Golf
Course near the half-way turnaround point.
Filled with many rolling and some steep hills along both the half- and
full-marathon courses, the race begins near the Cosmopolitan
Fayetteville Hotel at the corner of East and Mountain Streets, as
runners in both the 26.2- and the 13.1-mile races share the same course
for the first six and a half miles. The course winds in a roughly
northwesterly direction through town, with many twists and turns along
the city streets, as well as long straightaway sections along Maple
Street, Sang Avenue and Porter Road.
Just over 360 runners crossed the finish line in the half-marathon
alone at the race's 2008 running -- in addition to the nearly 100 full
marathon finishers -- so the race offers a sizeable crowd with plenty
of fellow travelers along the race route, without drawing overwhelming
crowds. The 2010 running of the race will be its 334th annual, and is
scheduled to start at 7:30 AM.
