Four runs rev up a new year

The Arkansas Running Klub is inviting central Arkansas runners and walkers to join the North Little Rock club’s annual Winter Series of four aid-supported runs.

Each week, the club will provide a measured course and water stops for these distances: 5K, 10K and half-marathon.

A $15 entry fee includes all four runs ($10 for club members) as well as a premium bearing the club logo. To do the series and also join the club, the fee is $25.

Finish times will not be collected, although the club will set up its race clock. All the outings begin at 8 a.m.

Saturday: Little Rock River Market pavilions

Jan 11: Pavilion 7 in Little Rock’s Murray Park

Jan 18: Lake Willastein in Maumelle

Jan 25: Burns Park trails, parking at the Boy Scout trailhead parking area on Arlene Laman Drive near the Interstate 40 overpass.

Club president Kirk Riley says this year’s premium is a pair of gloves with fingerpads designed for texting.

Volunteers can call (501) 517-3909. More information is at arkansasrunningklub.com and (501) 519-0185.
