Bentonville, AR (July 15, 2024) – Gear up for one of Arkansas’ biggest cycling events as the NWA Bike-a-Palooza with F.A.S.T. Coler Roller rolls into Coler Mountain Bike Park this September 20-22!
This community-driven event, organized by passionate volunteers from 15 local cycling clubs, promises a weekend of camaraderie and competition for over 2,000 cycling enthusiasts.
Rides for All Skill Levels
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a casual weekend rider, there’s a course for you! Choose from a variety of road, gravel, mountain bike, and greenway rides offered throughout the weekend. Kick things off with the Friday night Thunderdome Throwdown or unwind with the scenic Sunset Gravel Ride. “There is a ride for everyone over 12 years old!”
Celebrate and Give Back
On Saturday, celebrate with fellow cyclists, enjoy delicious food, and support worthy causes. The event benefits two local charities: Pedal It Forward, which provides bikes to children and families in need, and The National Child Protection Task Force, which supports rescue efforts for missing and exploited children.
- Pedal It Forward NWA: Since 2014, Pedal It Forward has been committed to putting more people on bikes through donations of bikes and bike parts to children, families, and veterans in need. Last year’s event was the largest fundraiser in Pedal It Forward’s history, with 555 kids in need receiving a bike.
- The National Child Protection Task Force: Anchored in Northwest Arkansas and serving communities across the US, the task force provides crucial investigative support to law enforcement for cases involving missing, exploited, and trafficked children. Funds raised from this event will support rescue efforts in Arkansas.
Extend the Fun with F.A.S.T.
For an even more immersive experience, upgrade your registration to include F.A.S.T. membership. This grants access to Saturday evening festivities with food, drinks, music, and bike clinics, plus a challenging Enduro race on Sunday morning.
