Course & Travel Notes

The Salute to Veterans races in Rogers kick off at 8:30 AM on November 8, 2026, giving you plenty of time after sunrise (6:46 AM) to get settled and warmed up before the gun goes off. You'll be running at a moderate elevation of 1,309 feet, so if you're coming from sea level, you might want to arrive a day or two early to acclimate. Northwest Arkansas National Airport is just 9 miles away, making it super convenient to fly in and grab a rental car. Pack layers for typical mid-November weather in Arkansas—expect highs around 59°F and lows near 36°F, with about a one-in-four chance of rain, so bring a light jacket and maybe an umbrella just in case.
