Fayetteville AR Hotel Area Events Calendar

WHAT IS THE IRON PIG FESTIVAL? Three different events - duathlon, 5K run and 18-mile bike time trial held at Drake Field Airport, which is located just south of Fayetteville. The Iron Pig Duathlon is the only duathlon in the World that has a leg of the race on an airport runway. Yes...the first 3 mile run is contested on the airport runway. Come "Run The Runway"! The 5K run will take place on the airport runway as well! WHAT ARE COURSES? Duathlon - 3 mile run, 18 mile bike and a 3 mile run. The 5K run and the first leg of the duathlon run are held on the Drake Field Airport runway. The bike course is a very flat out and back course for NW Arkansas on scenic Hwy 71 and the final run of the duathlon is just as flat as the first run leg and held just north of the airport. The finish line is in front of the airport terminal.
