Fort Smith Marathon, Half Marathon & 5 Leg Marathon Relay

About the event

The start/finish of the half and full marathon will be at the River Front Pavilion 100 N B St. Fort Smith, AR 72901.

Marathon

This course is both scenic and challenging and includes historic downtown, beautiful neighborhoods, paved trails, and rolling terrain with a few significant climbs and descents as well. Race date is Sunday, March 29, 2026 with race starting 7:00 am.

Half-Marathon

Starts along the marathon route, but turns off around mile 7.5. The route meets up with the marathon route at mile 9 for the return to the finish.

Marathon Relay

The Marathon course is broken into 5 relay legs. First leg is 5.4 miles with 260' elevation gain. Second leg is 4.8 miles with 114' elevation gain. Third leg is 4.5 miles with 262' elevation gain. Fourth leg is 6.3 miles with 237' elevation gain. Last leg is 5.5 miles with 237' elevation gain.
