SUMMARY:Beast of Burden
DESCRIPTION:Ozark Off-Road Cyclists and the Ozark Trail Runners unite to create the most epic 24 (25) hour party you’ve ever experienced. Profits from this “race” will go to continued preservation and trail development on Mt. Kessler. Join us on October 31 at Mt. Kessler – Fayetteville\, Arkansas for a full day of partying in the dirt. Individuals or teams will take on the challenge to ride or run from 12pm on Saturday to 12pm on Sunday\, and thanks to daylight savings time\, you get an extra hour for free! \nThe “Race” – 24 (+ 1 hour for free) hours of either mtb or trail running madness\, or….BOTH! The team/solo individual in each category with the most laps wins. \nThe Course – The course will be comprised of 2 separate loops\, with bikers and runners rotating loops every 6 hours. Runners and riders will be on their own separate loops to minimize congestion. Each loop is roughly 4-6 miles long. One loop is easy\, one loop will have you dreaming  of the cozy warmth of the campfire. \nThe Teams* – Teams must have a team captain (primary contact). Teams are either fully bike or fully run\, or dual sport and comprised of 2-4 participants on the Ultra team or 5-7 participants on the Endurance team (dual sport teams can have up to 8). You choose how much you want to work. Go for the win\, or occasionally exert yourself and spend the rest of the time throwing back Fossil Cove’s tasty beverages. 1 person does 90% of the work or split it evenly. It’s up to you! Each team will receive one timing chip (triathlon style band) that can only be exchanged in the Campout Zone. \n*Note that run/ride teams will have 2 timing chips\, one can only used for running and one only for riding. So\, it is possible run/ride teams to have two participants on the course at one time\, but only one of each discipline. \n*You can also choose to participate solo\, but remember\, no one asked you to do this. \nThe Party – Let’s be honest\, the whole thing is the party\, but since you asked: Dinner and breakfast provided; coffee all night. Bumping tunes. Team Spirit competition.  Fire pits burning through the night and more to come. Also\, Rise Physical Therapy will keeping participants feeling fresh and limber\, while Phat Tire will be keeping them bikes rolling.

DESCRIPTION:The Little Rock Hash House Harriers invite you to the 28th Annual HashFest Red Dress Weekend 2026\, November 13-15\, in beautiful Hot Springs National Park\, Arkansas. \nWe’re back with all of the usual debauchery you’ve come to expect from the Little Rock Hash House Harriers. The city residents are anxiously awaiting our return\, so start looking for that perfect red dress\, and don’t forget to accessorize. (You must wear a red dress\, or facsimile thereof\, to trail on Saturday.) \nFor a paltry fee of $79.69 ($89.69 after October 1 and $99.69 after October 31) you get all this great stuff: \n1. A genuine Hashfest Gimme (If registered and paid before November 1)\,\n2. Loads of brewski\, snacks\, and other pleasures of the Hashpitality Suite (the usual Al Capone Suite)\,\n3. Three Hash Runs\, including the traditional Friday Night Kilted Pub Crawl (mostly pay as you go)\, the Saturday Afternoon Red Dress Run\, and the Sunday Morning Hangover Run\, and\n4. A donation to a non-profit to be determined. \nOnce again\, the Hash will attempt to get thrown out of the historic Arlington Hotel and its epic hot tub in scenic Hot Springs National Park\, Arkansas. (We were SO VERY close last year!) For reservations\, call (501) 623-7771 or visit arlingtonhotel.com. If you’d like to help us keep civilians from being annoyed by the shenanigans of the Hash Suite\, ask to book a room on the 4th floor as close as possible to the Al Capone Suite.

SUMMARY:Ride the Ravine for Hydrocephalus
DESCRIPTION:This gravel and road cycling event will begin at 8 a.m. on the morning of the famous Battle of the Ravine football game between Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist University. If you plan to attend the game\, come early and enjoy an awesome ride in Southern Arkansas—you won’t be disappointed. After the ride\, stay for the post ride events which will include food\, drinks\, and entertainment. There will be rest stops on each route. \nThis isn’t a normal road ride and this isn’t a normal gravel ride. This is also not a race! This is a ride for those that love to ride their bicycle on quiet\, low-traffic county roads. \nThere are 4 route options in total.\n3 of the routes will have pavement and gravel.\nFor those pure roadies\, there is 1 route that is all pavement. \n“Groad” refers to a route that has both road (pavement) and gravel.\nGravel + Road = Groad \nThe links to each route is below. \nWe highly recommend downloading the route you plan to ride on your bike computer so you don’t get lost! While we will have the routes marked with signs/arrows\, but it’s always best to have the route on your computer! It’s possible that you may not see a sign! \n  \n35-mile Groad route:\nhttps://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/6639847977 \n51-mile Groad route:\nhttps://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/6639863265 \n73-mile Groad route:\nhttps://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/6651230233 \n33-mile Road route:\nhttps://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/6651252110 \n***If you’ve only ever ridden road (pavement) and you’re trying to decide if your skinny 25 mm or 28 mm tires would be safe on the gravel\, we do NOT recommend it! You will most likely get a flat! It’s best to ride any dirt and/or gravel roads with at least 35 mm wide TUBELESS tires. However\, even a 35 mm tire is considered skinny these days! Many gravel riders prefer 40+ mm tubeless tires. For the groad routes\, we personally prefer 42-45 mm wide tubeless tires and run fairly low tire pressure: 28-30 psi. So if you don’t have a bicycle that will accommodate a wider tire\, ride the 33-mile road only route.
