Race Info
The Fort Smith Marathon is held on a Sunday in March in Fort Smith, Arkansas, with a marathon, a half marathon, a five-leg marathon relay and a two-leg half marathon relay. All events start at 7:00 AM at the Glass Pavilion on North B Street downtown. The course runs through downtown, residential neighborhoods and paved trails, passes Torriane Lake and Ben Geren Park, and has rolling terrain and finishes back at the riverfront. Marathoners can take an optional detour to the Fort Smith Amphitheater for an AMP Challenge coin, and the course closes on a seven-hour pace. Source
