One Hour Track Run

The River Valley Runners host this prestigious Grand Prix event held at the Russellville High School track. The traditional track meet, known for its standard 400-meter circuit, marks the revival of the One Hour Track Run. Originating in 1983, it buzzed through various Arkansas cities and has firmly reinstated its position in the Grand Prix lineup. Featuring separate heats to ease track congestion, racers enjoy a course with aid stations every 400 meters. On-the-spot registration is available, and participants are treated to chili and fixings. This time-honored event captivates endurance athletes with its flat, predictable terrain.
