additional residential areas. After turning right on Hwy 229 (Old Hwy.
67) and crossing the Saline River Bridge, the course continues out Hwy.
229 to Interstate 30 at the 4.7 mile point. The course turns right before reaching the I-30 underpass and follows
the westbound access road to the turnaround approximately 3/10 mile past
Mountain View Road.
Runners return by the same route and finish in front of Cook Field House.
All turns are marked with large signs with arrows. Turns the first and last 5 miles are also

the Benton High School ROTC program.
The course will remain open for a maximum of 3
hours for slower runners. An early start option will be available
for runners who expect to take over 2 1/2 hours to finish. Any runner
taking the early start who finishes under 2:15 will be given a finish
time of 2:15.
