The Hero Half Marathon is a fundraising event organized by The Spark Foundation in collaboration with Fayetteville Firefighters’ IAFF – Local 2866. Proceeds from the race support community organizations, promote fitness, and enhance the quality of life in Fayetteville and Arkansas. Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each age division. Participants can also take part in a Firefighter Challenge, competing in full bunker gear. Registration is required by a specified date to guarantee a race t-shirt in the desired size, with limited availability on race day.
