About the Toad Suck Daze 10k/5k Run and Tadpole Trot
The race is held in memory of a bank employee who died of cancer, and the proceeds go to nonprofits serving children in the local community. It runs alongside a broader street festival, so the surrounding area has that energy to it. The race is organized by the local Kiwanis Club, which has been putting it on long enough that it has a real history behind it.
The Tadpole Trot for young kids takes place on the Hendrix College campus, at a stadium there. For the main race, paper registration is available at the Conway Regional Fitness Center the afternoon before, and again at the Conway High School Field House on race morning before the start.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2026 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Toad Suck Daze 10k/5k Run and Tadpole Trot has been held every year since at least 2018. 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 Sep 10, 2026.
