Fort Smith Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming up later
Runners will face a temperature range from 46°F at the start to 63°F by the finish, with humidity at 62%. A headwind will challenge runners from Miles 1 to 14, so pacing adjustments are essential early on. A tailwind from Miles 16 to 27 will aid in the latter stages, but hydration should be prioritized as temperatures rise. Light rain is possible, so a throwaway layer may be wise for the pre-race wait.

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
