Our Age Group awards are always an extra special treat and all runners will receive a finishers award as well as food, music and runner comradery afterwards !!! A portion of the proceeds will go towards our clubs plans to host a Jr. Run Clinic, Memorial Site for Brent, with the remainder to go towards day-to-day use of the Western Arkansas Running Club, a non profit organization, located in Chaffee on Taylor Ave, along with our weekly sponsored runs and events for runners.
