State records for long distance running (LDR) in Arkansas are maintained and based on the guidelines established by the Records Committee of USA Track & Field and RRCA.

Overall state records have been compiled to recognize the best performances recorded in Arkansas as well as in five major age divisions.

Arkansan state best (A) recognizes best performances by Arkansans when the state record is held by an individual from another state.  Arkansan all-time best (*) recognizes best performances by Arkansans recorded out-of-state and are superior to existing state records.
