Our volunteers are at the heart of what makes our race so unique and fun.”

Volunteer Chairman Darren Tillery echoed Lamm’s sentiments. “Volunteering is one of the best ways to experience all the excitement of race weekend,” he said. “Our race would not be possible without the support of so many volunteers who help throughout the entire weekend.”

Race weekend includes the Little Rock Marathon Health & Fitness Expo, presented by The Port of Little Rock; the Little Rock Marathon, presented by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette; the Little Rock Half Marathon, presented by Baptist Health; the Little Rock 10K, presented by Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Little Rock 5K, presented by Arkansas Federal Credit Union.
