Enjoy a unique experience running the cart paths at Coopers Hawk golf course. Participants will follow the cart paths of all 18 holes and will enjoy views of glittering ponds and gorgeous homes along the golf course. This is unlike any other running event in North Central Arkansas. The course is runner and walker-friendly, with a couple of hills to climb.

Coopers Hawk has a deep relationship with the community, and many partnerships with several local high schools, and is pleased to host this one-of-a-kind event. This is the atmosphere theyve worked to create at Coopers Hawk since it opened nearly 25 years ago serving or have served as the home course for many local high school golf teams, and Lyon College.
