Loop De Loop

November 14 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Loop de Loop Challenge is a 50-mile test of wheel and will in Bella Vista, Arkansas. Hosted by Friends of Arkansas Singletrack (FAST), this isn’t a race—it’s a ride, a revelation, a reset—where riders tackle the Back 40 and Tunnel Vision trails to scour away doubt and forge relentless bonds. It’s about preparation, dedication, and crossing the finish line.

Expect about 5,500 feet of climbing through 50 miles of wooded singletrack, with every rider earning bragging rights and a heart full of memories. The grassroots community pushes you to conquer fear and finish stronger, together.

The Course

The Loop de Loop Challenge spans 50 miles of Bella Vista’s scenic singletrack, hammering through the Back 40 and Tunnel Vision loops. With over 5,500 feet of climbing, the chert and scrabbly trails demand relentless focus to reach the finish.
