- Road Runner Coat Check
Arkansas weather in early March can be unpredictable. If you want to start the race in a favorite sweatshirt or wear a lucky hat, but don’t want to care it the rest of the race, then consider the Road Runner Coat Check. At mile marker 1 and mile marker 2, volunteers will retrieve that favorite sweatshirt or lucky hat, then take it back to the Gear Check Area if it is tagged. The service is free. To participate, pick up coat check tags and safety pins at the Expo, put your name and phone number on the tags, and pin the tags to each piece of clothing you want to get back. We will handle the rest. Please note: Although our volunteers try to pick up everything they find at the first two mile markers, we cannot guarantee your items will be picked up. Untagged items will be donated to charity. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity after 30 days.
