SHAM Mini Series of Cyclocross

October 4, 2025 - October 11, 2025
Sham Events
Firecracker 5K

Come play bikes with us!

But…What is cyclocross anyway?!

Weellll…it’s kinda like if a road bike and a mountain bike and a cross country running event all got mashed together!

Cyclocross is the best spectator friendly cycling event there is. ‘Cross races are held on short 1.5 to 2 mile laps that will mostly consist of grass and sometimes mud but can include sand, artificial barriers, hills, off camber sections, forced runs, and just about any dumb thing we can find in the park to make the race more fun to do but also to watch! We strive to make the race fun for everyone that comes out; from beginners and youth racers to the most experienced elite racers in Arkansas but especially to spectators! SHAM endeavors to make as much of the race course visible from as many spots along the way as possible, but especially at the start/finish line so you can cheer on  your friends and family and all the other racers out for a fun day in the sun…or mud…or maybe snow…but almost definitely sand and grass!
