From the race director:

The 2024 Papa Loco has been postponed until February 24, 2024 due to unsafe course conditions.

The annual loop-de-loop of Tucker Creek Trail in Conway, Arkansas, Loco is a laid back race with ample aid station support, approximately every half mile. We offer both full and half marathon distances. And with an eight hour time limit for both it’s the perfect choice for a first full. (We are walker friendly!)

Plus, at only $45 for either race, Loco is a bargain! All participants (that register in time) will receive shirts and finisher bling. Awards will be given to the top three finishers for each distance, male and female.

Packet pickup will be held on Friday afternoon (Sporty Runner from 2-6) and race morning (near the start line from 7-7:45).

Loco is Marathon Maniacs and Half Fanatics eligible if you participate on race day. We have a limited number of openings for virtual racers in each distance. Virtual participants will receive a finishers medal but no shirt. NEW in 2024: virtual participants will have the option of adding a shirt to their registration. (Please note that virtual races are not eligible for MM/HF due to their rules.)

The course is certified and a Boston Qualifier though be aware it has been known to register long on some GPS devices.
