About the Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Rogers, AR

The courses run out and back from the Blossom Way Trailhead, so you retrace your steps on the same path you came in on. The terrain is mostly flat with just enough variation to keep it honest. Self-serve water stations are spaced along the route, though runners who want to push without stopping may want to carry their own.

Registration opens at the trailhead on race morning before the start, with no separate pickup event scheduled ahead of time.

Common Questions About the Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Rogers, AR

Will I finish last at the Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Rogers, AR?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 42:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:17, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Rogers, AR a good first 5K?

It is a small race (53 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Rogers, AR?

The 5K winner ran 24:18 while the median finisher took 42:43. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
