The marathon, held in November, draws 100s of runners from around the region, the country and internationally to run along the White River near Cotter. Runners select from a range of courses that include a full marathon, half marathon and 5K.

Organizers said the donations highlight the marathon’s ongoing commitment to supporting area organizations and strengthening community resources.
