πββοΈπ 7 WEEKS TO 20K β WHO'S UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?The Arkansas 20K is only seven weeks away! If you've been thinking about tackling 12.4 miles, now is a great time to start building toward race day.We've put together this simple 7-week, train-on-your-own plan for runners, walkers, and run/walkers who already have a basic fitness base. Start where you are, adjust the plan to fit your ability, and gradually build your long-distance endurance.And don't let the distanceβor your paceβautomatically scare you away! The race offers two starting options with the same 11:00 AM finish cutoff:β° 8:00 AM Regular Start: 3 hours to complete 20Kβ° 7:00 AM Early Start: 4 hours to complete 20KThat early start can be a great option for walkers, run/walkers, or anyone who simply wants some additional time to complete the course. By the way, The early start is not intended for elite runners to beat the heat or get home earlier. If an early start participant finishes faster than 2:00 they will be credited with a finish time of 2:00 or disqualified.The goal over these seven weeks isn't perfection. It's consistent training, gradually increasing your time on your feet, practicing your fueling and hydration, and arriving at the starting line confident that you're ready for 12.4 miles.π Train at your pace. Run it. Walk it. Run/walk it. Make the finish line yours.πΊπΈ Arkansas 20Kπ
