Chilling at Chile Pepper Festival

The 19th-annual Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival is Saturday morning at Agri Park. It’s a fantastic event that’s as fun as it is athletic and it features John McDonnell’s Razorbacks and Lance Harter’s Lady Razorbacks.

It truly is one of top two or three cross country events in the nation, not affiliated with a championship. More than 10,000 people are expected to attend the event, including many of the top high school runners in the region.

It’s a signature Northwest Arkansas event, and if you haven’t attended before, you should check it out. If you have attended, you already know what a great event it is.
