The Big (Trail) Run Presented by Brooks
About this race
On June 3rd, all Fleet Feet locations will celebrate 50 years of running with the The Big Run, a nationwide event coinciding with Global Running Day. We will be running on one of the "funnest" surfaces to run on: TRAIL! Now is the time to venture out and try something new to you. We will be holding are run at War Memorial Golf Course Park, a relatively grassy course with almost no rocks and roots. That makes this race the perfect adventure for your first trail run. Think Cross Country. Bring your kids to run this fun run! They may just all in love with XC, if they haven't already.
If you ask most people in Little Rock where they run, a large majority will say, "The River Trail." This trail that we love so much, is one of the many parks and trails maintained by Little Rock Parks and Rec. 100% of the proceeds of The Big (Trail) Run go to Little Rock Parks and Rec. We want this fun run to be one of the biggest 5kish trail runs around. Come show your appreciation and run, walk or a little of both on the grass and asphalt of War Memorial Golf Course.
The Big Run is open to runners/walkers of all levels and abilities.

The Big (Trail) Run
While trail running shoes are not required for this race, we do recommend shoes with good traction. Old worn out shoes are probably not the best practice for anything slippery. If in need stop by Fleet Feet Little Rock for a new set of kicks White shoes are also not the best for this run...just sayin'...Luckily, Brooks will be there with trail shoes and road shoes for you to wear in the elements.
