About the Golden Driller Marathon
The course runs on paved trails along the Arkansas River, staying flat through most of the route. Marathon runners get one real hill, but everything else is smooth and even. The riverpark setting keeps things open and scenic without any traffic to dodge. The course is Boston-qualifier certified, so the flat profile is by design, not accident.
Parking is right at the start and finish area, which sits close to downtown and a cluster of hotels. There is post-race food and beer at the finish.

The Golden Driller Marathon has been held every year since at least 2017. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
