The Fayetteville Firefighters Hero Half Marathon is an annual event hosted in partnership with The Spark Foundation to raise awareness and funds for Arkansas-based charity and non-profit organizations. Our goal is to provide an event that encourages Fayetteville families, community members, and visitors to be active. The charities that will benefit from the event include Arkansas Special Olympics,
Fayetteville Public Education Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy Association, The Cow Paddy Foundation, Movies in the Park, Fayetteville Firefighters Scholarship Fund, and Camp Sunshine. Funds generated by the race will help sustain and expand these local organizations that meet a need in our community, make Fayetteville a better place to live and attract visitors to our city. In addition to supporting charitable organizations, the event will include a fire-safety-awareness component and will be a September 11th memorial event.
