Worst Race Ever
Should we call this the BEST RACE EVER!? Nah...
The Worst Race Ever is a 100% real, chipped time, high quality 5k race but takes all the elements of "the worst race I ever ran" and mocks them throughout the event. This year’s theme pays homage to your non-running family members who think every race is a marathon. You know the question, “how was your 5K Marathon today, sweetie??”
Please note that dogs are not allowed on the race course due to safety concerns.

Race Day Information
The race begins at 7:00am. Please allow yourself enough time to park and get to the starting area at Old Tiger Track. You may park in the Bentonville School Administration parking lot across from Old Tiger Track or in the parking lot at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. The parking right by the track will not be available due to the start and finish line.
Your race packet contains your shirt, but it also contains a couple of important articles for your race participation...your race bib with your race number that's been assigned to you. *New: Your timing chip is attached to your bib, and does not need to be removed. Do not remove your timing chip from your bib. Your race number should be affixed to the front of your outermost layer with the safety pins provided. Please be sure your bib is visible when you race!
