The Little Rock Marathon offers a training program to individuals participating in the 2016 race. Official training begins September 21 with a "build-up" training phase beginning on Aug. 10. The Little Rock Marathon Training Program, presented by Bill Torrey’s Rock City Running and KARK Channel 4, is free of charge but registration is required.
Registration will be available online at littlerockmarathon.com through 8:00 a.m. CST Feb. 26, 2016.
In the past, all races have sold out, due in part to the famously HUGE finisher’s medals and fun race themes. Race officials anticipate another sell out before the end of the year.
