Lace up your running shoes and celebrate Independence Day with the Eagle 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Springdale, AR, set for Saturday, July 4, 2026. This vibrant event, kicking off at 8:00 AM, offers a fantastic opportunity for runners of all levels to enjoy a scenic out-and-back course in the beautiful surroundings of Springdale, Arkansas. Participants can choose their challenge from a 5K, a 10K, or a Half Marathon (13.1M), with the course designed in a dynamic multi-lap format: the 5K covers the route twice, the 10K four times, and the Half Marathon six times.
Runners will appreciate the well-organized setup, with packet pickup conveniently starting 30 minutes before the race next to the splash pad. Typical race day conditions in early July include highs around 90F and lows around 68F, with a 13% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a warm, potentially humid run. All finishers are rewarded with a themed medal, and for those who love to add a festive touch, a best costume contest encourages creativity and adds to the lively atmosphere. The Half Marathon typically features a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit, accommodating a wide range of paces.
As part of the US Road Running Race Series, the Eagle 5K, 10K, & 13.1M is more than just a race; it's an opportunity to earn points and connect with fellow athletes in a fun and engaging environment. Be sure to register online in advance, as no on-site registration is available.
