Gravette Day 5K
Kick off Gravette Day with one of Northwest Arkansas' favorite community traditions!
Join us for the annual Gravette Day 5K, presented by The Gravette Gym, as runners and walkers of all ages come together to celebrate fitness, community, and everything that makes Gravette special. Whether you're chasing a personal best, enjoying a morning walk with friends, or bringing the whole family, this event is the perfect way to start a day full of hometown festivities.
The race begins and ends at Old Town Park and takes participants on a scenic tour through Gravette. The course travels past the local schools, heads toward Highway 72, winds through historic downtown Main Street, and finishes back at the park where the Gravette Day celebration continues.
Your registration includes:
Professionally timed 5K
Event t-shirt for early registrants (while supplies last)
Water station on the course
Post-race refreshments
Overall and age group awards
Even better, your participation helps support local community initiatives and organizations, making every mile you complete give back to the community.
After you cross the finish line, stick around and enjoy everything Gravette Day has to offer, including the community pancake breakfast, local vendors, arts and crafts, family activities, and the annual Gravette Day Parade.
Whether you run, jog, or walk, we'd love to have you join us for a fun morning celebrating health, community, and hometown pride. We'll see you at the starting line!
