Race History

The Toad Suck Daze 10k Race was started by the Conway Kiwanis Club in 1982 and run in conjunction with the then-new Toad Suck Daze Festival. In 1984, First National Bank (now Regions) began a race in memory of a fellow employee, Randy Baker, who died of cancer. The Randy Baker 8k was conducted for two years, with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. In 1986, the Conway Kiwanis Club approached Regions Bank, and the two races were combined.

• Memory: The annual Toad Suck Daze Run is held in memory of Randy Baker.
• Community Support: Proceeds benefit non-profit agencies supporting children in the Faulkner County community.
• Fundraising Success: Over the years, the race has raised more than $500,000 for nonprofit organizations.
• Recent Contributions: The Conway Kiwanis Club presented checks totaling more than $44,500 to local non-profits.
