Spring Fling 5K

Race History

The Spring Fling has been run in Cabot since 1996. From 1998 to 2001, the race was part of the Arkansas Grand Prix Series. After a five year absence the Cabot Country Cruisers brought the race back into the Series starting in 2007.

Course Description

The Spring Fling course starts on Bellamy Street, south of the Cabot High School. The route heads south for less than 1/4 mile before turning left onto Main St. The race moves into a tree-lined residential area, and turns south onto Honeysuckle Ln. The runners will curve along this road, merging onto Linda Lane and continuing south to reach the 1st mile marker

Just after beginning the 2nd mile, the course turns runners south onto G street for a small loop before returning to Linda Lane to head back to the north. Once the runners have returned to Honeysuckle Ln, they will pass the 2nd mile marker.

The third mile returns the runners to Main St and then north on Bellamy to pass the starting line. The route continues north with a nice downhill to Cabot High School. The course enters the stadium where runners reach the race's final stretch on the track. The 3 mile marker is passed near the end of the back stretch, leaving runners just the turn and a short straightaway until the finish line.
