This is a unique opportunity to run in one race that goes through two states. The course is relatively flat with a few long inclines. It goes through both Cities of Texarkana with a short portion of the race on the Arkansas/Texas stateline. The race is primarily on asphalt and includes the Nix Creek Trail, the Phillip McDougal Trail in Spring Lake Park, and city streets with coning. We have multiple volunteers, water stations, and porti-potties along the course. The half-marathon includes 2-person relay teams. Electronic timing chips are provided for runners.
