The Little Rock Marathon, is an annual walking and running tour through the beautiful streets of Little Rock, Arkansas. It is filled with volunteers, who will show loads of southern hospitality, and has a generous time limit of 8 hours. This year’s marathon was accompanied, by some of Nouvel’s runners. Those who attended the marathon, were Matt Bartels, Mr. Bartels, and Joe Bartels.  All three of them participated in the 5K run, that took place on March 4, with Matt winning first place again for the third time in a row, and even set a personal best record of 16:13. Then on March 5, Matt and Joe competed in the half marathon, and  Mr. Bartels competed in the full marathon, all of them did a great job. When asked about why his family and him go every year, Matt said, ” It is always cool to run in a different place, and look forward to running in Little Rock again”.
