Welcome!

Welcome! We're glad you came to check us out, and we look forward to seeing you at our race.

This is a runners' race, organized by runners, directed by runners, and benefiting runners. All proceeds benefit the Vilonia Cross Country team. We want to instill a love of running in these young athletes, a passion for the sport they will carry throughout their lives.


We offer a USATF certified 5K course (#AR13014DLP). The race starts in front of Vilonia High School and finishes on the track inside Philip Weaver Stadium. Our two-loop course through the Vilonia School District main campus is flat and fast. Many experienced runners got their PRs here last year. We close the campus, so runners enjoy a race without traffic issues.

Participants in the 5K receive a high-quality technical race t-shirt. Kids who participate in the fun run will receive a commemorative cotton race t-shirt. Runners and spectators will have access to REAL bathrooms at the stadium (no porta-potties necessary!) And of course, we give really nice awards to the top three male and female finishers in the race, and in the masters and grand masters categories. Great-looking medals go to the top three male and female runners in the following age groups: 9 & under, 10 - 14, 15 - 19, 20 - 24, 25 - 29, 30 - 34, 35 - 39, 40 - 44, 45 - 49, 50 - 54, 55 - 59, 60 - 64, 65 - 69, 70 & above.

    1. Thank you! I left last year's shirt design up there. It's time to change that!

    1. You will enter from Hwy 64B at one of the closest two entrances to the Freshman Academy and park in the main parking lot north of the football field. We look forward to seeing you!
