 "Great course along the White River" (about: 2010)
11-50 previous marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 I have put off running this race (half marathon) because of conflicts with another race on the same date. Finally made the decision this year and realized what I had been missing. This was a great, flat course along the White River. I will definitely plan on being there next year. | |

 "Awesome" (about: 2010)

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was a wonderful flat area to start my running over again. I had not been able to participate for 2 years due to diabetic neuropathy/tarsal tunnel. The doctor gave the go ahead since it was flat and I promised to speed-walk. Came in 3rd in my age-class. Thanks again for the changes. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Beautiful, flat course along the White River in rural Arkansas. Exceptional staff and volunteers; I had misplaced my race number on race morning and the staff quickly assisted me and relieved all stress!!! Great bean soup at the end. Community supports a good charity. | |

"Flattest marathon I've run" (about: 2010)
50+ previous marathons
| 2 White River Marathon for Kenya (prev Mountain Home Marathon fors
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 This small, convenient race benefits a great cause by providing funds to better the lives of those in a village in Kenya. The course is very flat and features a double out-and-back along the White River, which means you are almost always passing someone going the opposite direction. Aid stations are plentiful and provide gels along with water and electrolyte fluids at each location. The local residents are very hospitable and the pre-race dinner was better than at many larger events. | |

"Great low-key marathon - definitely a PR course" (about: 2010)

| 2 White River Marathon for Kenya (prev Mountain Home Marathon fors
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my second time here - 5 years ago I ran the old, hilly course, which I really liked. I was a little skeptical about a double out-and-back loop course, but it was great! My rating of 5 for spectators really relates to the half-marathoners, who were terrific at cheering for those running the full. With the double loop course, you were always meeting other runners, for lots of encouragement. The course is flat, the aid stations good (with gels at all), and the organization is great. Those things, along with the benefit for the kids of Katito, Kenya, make for a great experience. | |

 "New flat course and runner-friendly" (about: 2010)
50+ previous marathons
| 2 White River Marathon for Kenya (prev Mountain Home Marathon fors
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This race course is flat and fast and it's a nice, double out-and-back. It was fun to cheer on your friends as they passed back and forth and to be encouraged by others. I will definitely run this one again. The river and view were very pretty and aid stations well stocked. | |

"Very well run race!!!" (about: 2010)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 White River Marathon for Kenya (prev Mountain Home Marathon for
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I loved this race! The course was completely flat and we were blessed with some fog that day, which added to atmosphere. The water stations were well run and the overall organizing of the event was excellent. The race was chip timed and even with a slight computer glitch, they had the full results on the internet the next day. I say, "great job!" to everyone who puts this race together. I live in Wisconsin but I hope to do this race again next year. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 Very well organized race. Although there weren't many spectators during the race, the after-race food and fellowship from the race volunteers made this race one of my favorites. I ran the half marathon. | |

"Great Opportunity to set a PR" (about: 2010)
2 previous marathons
| 1 White River Marathon for Kenya (prev Mountain Home Marathon for
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 2 This is a flat and very fast course. All members from our group set a new PR in the marathon or the half-marathon. What makes this race even better are the people because they showed true Ozarks hospitality. I did the half-marathon for this event. I love the 7 a.m. start!! Did I mention the post-run meal with all of the various homemade soups? |
