 "Brutally fun and hilly - excellent experience." (about: 2006)
6-10 previous marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 I've always wanted to do this 1/2 marathon. And it was everything I expected - tough! But then again, I love to run the hills, long runs, short runs... you get the point. This was a great race in that I always like to go somewhere in a big race and see a city's sites and features. I wasn't really trained up for this one and I just kind of rolled into it just off my base and triathlon training, and I was fine. Do add 15 minutes or so to your 1/2 marathon time. Time easily - that's how hilly it is. Do it again? Hell yeah - next time, though, I would like to get trained up good for it and see how I can battle it out in placements. Good luck in 2007. See you there. | |

"Great small marathon" (about: 2006)
6-10 previous marathons
| 1 Hogeye Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 Yes, there are hills, and with it being an out-and-back course, you know exactly what is coming at the end. But the course is nice, far from boring, and you do get to use all your muscles. My husband and I expected to tack on at least 15 minutes to our marathon time, but we didn't - and if we could have convinced our calves not to tighten up over the last 3-4 miles, we were both on target to PR. Great support from volunteers along the way, cozy atmosphere. Would consider doing it again because it was so small and friendly. | |

 "excellent small-town/country run" (about: 2006)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Hogeye Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 3 I live in the desert, and this race was a refreshing change of scenery. I enjoyed the scenery so much that the rolling hills did not bother me. The volunteers were great and there was lots of water and Gatorade. The spectators were very encouraging. The medals were very high quality - loved the red 1/2 maratnon one I received. It was everything I wanted for a running event. Oh, and the free massages were wonderful, and no line!! If there was any negative, I forgot about the post-race party that evening. It was mentioned in the website, but I missed any advertising reminders at the event. Fayetteville is an awesome town. Thank you for making my visit so perfect. | |

 "Excellent Small-Town Marathon" (about: 2006)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Hogeye Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This marathon is one of the best small marathons I have had the pleasure to run. There was at least one water stop per mile, totally unheard of in small marathons. It was a hilly course, but the hills were small, predictable, rolling... just perfect! Lots of food and drinks at the end. In 2006 the weather was perfect, cool and sunny! Very well organized. Thanks for the Arkansas hospitality and experience! | |

 "This marathon will make you use all your muscles" (about: 2006)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Hogeye Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I am 14 and haven't run many, but this had to be one of the hardest courses I have ever completed. But it was fun and they had water stations everywhere (but I only ran the half marathon). The spectators were also nice except for the college kids "that looked like they never ran a mile in there life" who tried to give me a beer. My calves were killing me after the race - I couldn't walk, so my dad had to carry me to the car. | |

"A Favorite" (General Comments)
50+ previous marathons
| 6+ Hogeye Marathons
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This one has a lot of rolling hills. It helps me use different muscles throughout. The hill at the finish is challenging, but if you save some for the finish you are passing others. What a blast. I drive 425 miles each way to run this one. It is one of my annual marathons. I love it. | |

 "Puh-leeze" (about: 2004)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Hogeye Marathon
COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 I ran the half marathon this year (did the full marathon in 1992). I don't recall the '92 marathon being as difficult as this half-marathon course. The very difficult uphill finish was a bit demoralizing, but there were some nice rolling hills outside of town. The traffic control was almost non-existent, which is somewhat understandable given the size of this race. However, you should probably increase your insurance, because most of the drivers along the course were incredibly rude. I watched one jerk almost run down a volunteer that what was trying to direct traffic. Overall, a very challenging course. Given the weather for this year, I was grateful I wasn't running the full marathon. |
