Thanks to the generous donation by TRS Healthcare, we are very excited to offer a family friendly 5k and 1k with proceeds going to Siloam Springs public school's health and fitness education programs!

Theres a 5K for adults and older kids and a 1K Fun Run for the little ones.

The Cow Paddy Run, Downtown Runaround, and Trick-or-Trot 5k & 1k is also produced by The Spark Foundation with a focus on helping students and families build the habits for an active, healthy lifestyle. All 3 races are part of our pay-your-age program for runners 5-15 and proceeds directly support physical education in local schools through the school participation prize. As part of our school participation run series, we want the focus on running to be fun and accessible. All runners get a chip time, participant shirt, and finishers medal. WE DO NOT OFFER OVERALL OR AGE GROUP AWARDS FOR THESE EVENTS, BUT RATHER FOCUS ON THE LOVE OF RUNNING BY CREATING A FUN, FAMILY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE!

We know that race fees can be prohibitive and we've dedicated to making running accessible to all. We offer scholarships through school and community running clubs and P.E. programs. Email us at [email protected] to find out more.

*** Please note: In order to guarantee a race t-shirt (short-sleeved cotton with winning design), you must register and select a size no later than October 1st, 2023. If you register on or after the date, we can no longer guarantee a race t-shirt. We will have some extra shirts available on race, but please register before the cutoff, to ensure your t-shirt in your desired size. ***

All proceeds benefit The Spark Foundation, a local Fayetteville nonprofit to create a positive impact in the community by providing increased access to health and fitness education and opportunities. Thank you for joining us in helping people of all ages (and paces!) build the habits for a healthy, active lifestyle.
