Mardi Gras Madness - Little Rock

Mardi Gras Madness - Little Rock takes place in North Little Rock, Arkansas, on February 28, 2027. Four formats are offered across the morning: a Kids Dash at 8:55 a.m., then a 1 Mile Run, a 5K (3.1 miles), and a 10K (6.2 miles) all going off together at 9:00 a.m. Running the mile and the 5K from a common start means the field spreads quickly, so line up according to the distance you have entered.

The lineup is built for households rather than specialists: children get their own short dash, the mile suits newcomers and walkers, and the 10K gives regular runners something to race. If the 10K is your target, four to six weeks of consistent running with one weekly session at threshold — say 4 by 1 mile with short recoveries — is a sound build. For the 5K and the mile, the main thing is starting conservatively, because a shared gun tempts everyone into going out too fast.
