The MacArthur Park 5K is an annual race in downtown Little Rock coordinated by the MacArthur Park Group, Little Rock Parks & Recreation and Downtown Little Rock Partnership. The 3.1 mile race (5K) begins from the North Lawn (9th Street) of MacArthur Park in front of the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History. The MacArthur Park 5K is held each year in May. Proceeds from this year's race will be used to help fund the installation of a new universally accessible playground in the park.
Event Details and Schedule

The race will begin promptly at 7 p.m. This race is timed using chip timing. Each chip must be returned to the race organizers once you cross the finish line.
Once you've crossed the finish line, please stay for the awards ceremony and live music by Jimmy Lynn's Psychedelic Velocity, with plenty of beer and pizza for all. Stone's Throw Brewing will host an after party just down the street for those who want to keep the party going!
Spectators are welcome and can join in watching the band, pizza, and Stone's Throw Beer. Spectator entrance is $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under.
