The Razorback Run is a vibrant, all-ages race held in the heart of Fayetteville each fall. Runners of all ages can choose between a 5K or 15K race. This year’s races will be held the morning of Sunday, September 30 and will benefit the Washington County Animal Shelter & Feed Communities.
The Razorback Run 5K Run/Walk (3.1 miles) begins on the west side of the Northwest Arkansas Mall, on the outer loop, at 8:35 am. The course circles the Mall before exiting on Steele Blvd, proceeding across Joyce, and entering the Scull Creek trail. Runners will turn right and go to the first bridge over Clear Creek, where 5K participants should turn around, returning to finish on the South side of Academy Sports+ Outdoors, adjacent to the store.
The Razorback Run 15K (9.3 miles) begins on the west side of the Northwest Arkansas Mall, on the outer loop, at 8:30 am. The course circles the Mall before exiting on Steele Blvd, proceeding across Joyce, and entering the Scull Creek trail. Runners will turn right and go through Johnson on the Clear Creek Trail, crossing under 71B, and making a loop around Veterans Park. They will then return on the same trail crossing through the Fulbright Expressway tunnel, turning around behind Washington Regional Medical Center, and finishing on the South side of Academy Sports+ Outdoors, adjacent to the store.
Each race will have a short awards ceremony where overall & age group winners are recognized. A special prize will also be given for the best-dressed HOG or PIGLET, and door prizes will be drawn after both races are complete.
