Jacob Wells 3 Bridges Marathon

December in Little Rock — a chilly average of 6°C.

Your fingers and ears will feel the cold first, so bring gloves and a beanie.

Dress your torso in several light layers that you can remove while running.

Entry fee uses tiered pricing that increases over time.

It starts at $120 and rises to $160 as the registration deadline approaches.

For full marathon, the real race begins after 30 km.

Passing the halfway point 5–10 seconds slower than your target pace is better for maintaining your pace later,

and start taking gels early, before you feel hungry.

The 05:00 start is early.

Counting backward from wake-up, breakfast, and travel time, staying near start line the night before will make things easier.

Registration is open until December 4, 2026.
