Capital City Classic 10k

09/07/2026

Today we’re celebrating two very special people who have given decades to our club, the Capital City Classic 10k, and the entire Arkansas running community!

Bill Torrey, our Capital City Classic Race Director for an incredible 34 years, is celebrating his birthday today!

Linda House, our volunteer extraordinaire, is also celebrating her birthday! Linda has volunteered for all 34 of those years and previously served as Race Director herself.

We’re pretty sure both of these legends would agree that getting as many people as possible signed up for the 2027 Capital City Classic would make the perfect birthday present! 😜

Help us wish Bill and Linda a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And while you’re at it, take advantage of our Early Bird 10K pricing before it expires Monday at midnight!

Let’s give these two legends the birthday present they deserve—another packed start line in 2027!

If you’ve got a high school runner wanting to improve this summer, check out this out! This is an incredible opportunity for high school athletes looking to take the next step in cross country!

The Arkansas Track is hosting a cross country camp June 22-26 in Northwest Arkansas for athletes entering grades 9-12. Campers will get instruction on training, nutrition, injury prevention, racing strategy, and more — plus the chance to learn directly from collegiate and professional athletes.

Two familiar Capital City Classic names are helping make it happen:
🔥 Erin Warren — 2x Capital City Classic champion and 5th place finisher in 2026
🔥 Megan Taylor — 6th place finisher at the 2026 Capital City Classic

Both are part of ATRC and helping invest in the next generation of Arkansas distance runners.

Huge congratulations to Kaitlin Bounds, our 3rd place female finisher at the 2026 Capital City Classic! 👏🔥

Bounds continues to shine on the national stage—breaking her own T20 5000m world record at the Drake Relays and earning USA Track & Field Athlete of the Week honors.

Breaking her own women’s T20 Para Athletics world record* in the 5000, Kaitlin Bounds earned recognition as the 16th USATF Athlete of the Week award winner for 2026 🏅

A 2024 Paralympian in Paris, Bounds broke her own 🌎 mark in the 5000 at the Drake Relays, running 17:10.37 to better the time of 17:10.74 that she set last year at Drake. 👏

Sounds like a fun event with a great cause!

Join as we start a new tradition and raise $$ for our annual "campership" (camp scholarship) fund! We are excited for more of the community to experience the trails here at Lake Nixon. You may register for the 5K trail run or the 1-mile fun run. We will also need many volunteers and you can use this...
