About the Arkansas Rasta Fest + 5k & 10K Run/Walk
The Arkansas Rasta Fest wraps a road race around a broader outdoor festival rooted in mental health awareness and community wellness. The run and walk options share the same course, and the event draws people who are there for the whole day, not just the finish line. Music, vendors, and family activities fill the festival grounds before and after the race.
Local running stores and health organizations are among the sponsors, so the post-race area tends to have a presence from the running community beyond just the organizers. A short kids dash runs alongside the main distances, which means families with younger children have a reason to stick around and participate rather than just watch.
