This year’s Springhill Classic is hosted by the ARNICA team “River Valley Marshals”! Thank you for supporting this event to help us “GET MORE KIDS ON BIKES” in the Fort Smith and surrounding river valley communities.

Opening remarks and safety briefing will be at 7:30am near the Start/Finish line.

We have merch! Online only, for a small cost, River Valley Marshal socks are available until sold out; Online only, event T-Shirts are available for purchase to participants who register prior to July 8th. Pending approval, available at the event for a designated donation, other MTB style T-shirts will be available and printed on site in various sizes!

Lunch will be provided to participants at no charge. Any extra food will be made available (please consider a donation) once all participants have had a chance to eat.

The 10 and Under course will be 2 laps on a 1.4 mile inside course loop close to the Pit Zone so you can cheer them on.

The 11-14 year old racers may recognize the old ARNICA racecourse with a little added to make it 4.4 miles long.

For the rest of the racers, the full course of 6.44 miles will be used. Some returning veterans to the SH Classic will recall the course being 9+ miles, however as you will soon find out, there is a new bridge being constructed over the Arkansas River which cut off about 2 miles of the trail system.
