Chase Race and Paws

Run or walk one or both of the CHASE RACE events!

CHASE RACE 2-MILE is an AR Grand Prix Championship Race. We believe it's the best 2-MILE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE ever. Walkers and slower runners yield to faster runners on course.  All participants will be directed to right side of course streets. No dogs in this one please!  Course is certified by USATF and disposable chip timing with S/F mats will be provided. 

PAWS RACE 1-Mile event is for participants who want to run or walk with their leashed dog/pet. It is a fun event for dogs/pets of all breeds, ages and sizes!  The course will be gun timed (no start mat).

Both events start and finish at Simon Park, 805 Front Street, Conway, AR.

1) Best Pet Costume Contest. Judging and winners will be determined during the 1-Mile race.
