Description

The Hero Half Marathon is a fundraising race and community event hosted by Spark Foundation in partnership with the Fayetteville Firefighters’ IAFF – Local 2866. 

This scenic, chip-timed, point-to-point race originates at beautiful Lake Fayetteville. Runners wind their way through the green heart of this charming college town on extensive paved, multi-use trails that make up part of the Razorback Regional Greenway, a world-class trail system linking six communities. Racers will experience a safe, fun, well-marked, well-supported race that culminates with a sneaky hill in the last mile.

The race finishes in historic downtown Fayetteville where participants will be greeted with a festival-like atmosphere that includes music, food, the Columbus House Brewery beer garden, local vendors, sponsor booths, and activities for children. The race coincides with Fire Safety Awareness week and includes a 9/11 Memorial to commemorate the sacrifices made then and now by firefighters, law enforcement, and first responders.

Are you an active duty FIREFIGHTER? Want to participate in our Firefighter Challenge by running in FULL bunker gear? Email us at contact@mysparkfoundation.org for more information and a special discount code for firefighters.

*** Please note: In order to guarantee a race t-shirt (a long-sleeved tech tee), you must register and select a size no later than September 1, 2020. If you register on or after September 1, 2020, we can no longer guarantee a race t-shirt. We will have some extra shirts available on race, but please register before September 1, 2020, to ensure your t-shirt in your desired size.
