The virtual route is up on Strava. Designed by athletes, for athletes, Strava's mobile app and website connect millions of runners and cyclists through the sports they love. We used Strava this year to create a Running of the Hogs route so you can run the official race route if you are in Fayetteville, AR. If you are planning to run your own route, no stress, just log your time in Strava. We have also created a club page for you to connect with other runners in our community and share your run. Click the link below or search “Running of the Hogs” under the Explore page. Here is the official race route on Strava. Run the route once for the 5k route, twice for the 10k.

This year we are partnering with Soles4Souls to collect new and gently used footwear during packet pickup and on race day. Soles4Souls collects and distributes the shoes in developing countries via a network of local nonprofits who provide training and support for people to start their own small businesses selling shoes. This provides those business owners a way to lift themselves out of poverty and provide affordable shoes to their communities.
Donations can be new or gently worn shoes, boots, heels or other footwear. Please donate pairs of shoes.
