Three races to run this spring

Whether you’re an ultra-marathoner or a more of a mall-walker, there’s an Arkansas race for you and the family.

Little Rock Marathon: The 16th annual race takes place March 3-4. Known for its extravagant themes and medals, you won’t want to miss this year’s medieval “What’s Your Quest?”

Iron Pig Festival: Not for the faint of heart. Participate in the duathlon in Fayetteville on March 31.

Downtown Dash: The Junior League of Little Rock Downtown Dash’s 10K, 5K and kids’ 1K will take place April 7. The course takes runners through downtown’s landmarks while benefiting charitable causes.
