Hotel's New Marathon Package Gets Heart Rates Up in Bentonville, Arkansas

BENTONVILLE, AR--(Marketwired - Feb 25, 2015) - It's been said that to truly know a place, you have to walk through it, but in Bentonville, running is just as effective. With a number of races lined up throughout the year, this city is a runner's dream destination. And making that dream come unforgettably true is the Courtyard Bentonville with its new Run Bentonville, Arkansas Package.

As one of the most comprehensive hotel deals in Bentonville, Arkansas, the new package ensures that runners have everything they need to cross the finish line. Guests begin their stay with a Runner's Survival Kit packed with goodies like toenail clippers, 5-hour Energy drinks, BioFreeze^®, and BodyGlide^® to give visitors a running start on a good race. Breakfast for two at The Bistro (up to $10 each) is also included, along with two cups of brewed Starbucks coffee.

Whether runners opt for a Healthy Start sandwich of egg whites and spinach or classic oatmeal with dried fruits and nuts at this value-added hotel in Bentonville, Arkansas you can rely on the right fuel for the race. But because running burns more calories than breakfast might provide, the package also includes a To-Go Bag packed with healthy treats like a granola bar, trail mix and a sports drink.

Guests can also look forward to a rejuvenating night's stay at one of the most comfortable hotels in Bentonville, Arkansas. Visitors can sleep on thick mattresses wrapped in crisp linens and outfitted with fluffy pillows. Or they can soak off the stress in a room equipped with a whirlpool. Free Wi-Fi and HDTVs create restorative evenings. And for those who like to warm up with a workout or cool off with a dip in the indoor pool, the hotel is one of the best-equipped options in Bentonville, Arkansas.

With every detail attended to, the new package leaves guests with only one big decision to make: which race to join. Bentonville hosts a number of them throughout the year, from the big RunBentonville Half Marathon on March 28, to the 5K Goblin Run on Halloween. Other notable races include the Kiss Me I'm Irish 5K and 10K runs on March 7, the two-mile Glow Run on May 29, the 5K People's Choice Race on September 5 and the Frosty 5K on December 5. No matter which race travelers register for, however, the experience -- when supplemented by the package -- will reveal a side of Bentonville no one can forget.
