Get ready to experience Razorback history at the inaugural Run Pig Sooie, set to take place on Sunday, March 8, 2026, in the vibrant city of Fayetteville, Arkansas. This exciting event offers distances for everyone, including a Half Marathon (13.1M), 5K, and a 1-Mile Kids Run. All races promise a spirited journey through the lively streets of Fayetteville, culminating in an unforgettable finish on the iconic 50-yard line inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Participants will navigate scenic routes with rolling terrain, supported by lively aid stations and enthusiastic volunteers along well-marked turns.
This isn't just a race; it's a celebration of Arkansas pride and the running community, fueled by the electrifying energy of "Hog Country." Runners and walkers of all ages will be cheered on by enthusiastic fans as they make their way through the course. The Half Marathon and 5K will utilize a wave start system, with runners self-seeding into corrals based on their anticipated finish times for a smooth race experience. Typical race day conditions in early March offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 58F and lows around 35F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation.
Run Pig Sooie provides a unique opportunity to be part of an inaugural event and create lasting memories. Whether you're aiming for a personal best on the challenging Half Marathon course, enjoying a festive 5K with family, or letting younger runners experience the magic of race day in the Kids Mile, the experience of finishing on the hallowed turf of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium is truly one-of-a-kind. Detailed course maps and USATF certification information will be available soon.
