Maumelle Charter Falcon Family 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the Maumelle Charter Falcon Family 5K, set to take flight on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in scenic Maumelle, AR. This family-friendly event, now in its third annual iteration, offers a perfect opportunity for runners of all ages and abilities to hit the pavement around the beautiful Lake Willastein. Choose your challenge from the main 5K race, a shorter 1-mile loop, or join the excitement of the unique Donut Dash and Donut Hole Dash for the younger participants.

The 5K course treats runners to a clockwise loop and a half around Lake Willastein Park, while the 1-mile race completes a single clockwise circuit, providing a generally flat and enjoyable experience along paved trails. Aid stations will be conveniently located near miles one, two, and three on the 5K route, ensuring runners stay hydrated and energized. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant temperatures, with highs around 71°F and lows around 51°F, and only a 19% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather.

What truly sets the Maumelle Charter Falcon Family 5K apart is its vibrant, community-focused atmosphere and unique post-race festivities. All participants can look forward to a delicious spread of pancakes and bacon served at the finish line near the Lake Willastein pavilion. The first 125 finishers will receive a commemorative medal, and awards will be presented to the top three overall male and female finishers in both the 5K and 1-mile races, along with age division awards for the 5K.
