LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (10/28/14) - At midnight on Friday, Oct. 31, registration

Democrat-Gazette and benefits Little Rock Parks & Recreation.
"Our training program is in full swing, and people are starting to feel
confident about undertaking a marathon or half marathon in the spring,"
said Gina Pharis, co-executive director of the Little Rock Marathon. "We've
seen a surge in registrants over the last few weeks and expect
registrations to continue to pick up throughout the fall."

Marathon, presented by Baptist Health; the Little Rock 10K, presented by
Windstream Communications, the Little Rock 5K; the Little Rockers Kids
Marathon, presented by Today's THV Channel 11 and the Little Rock Marathon
