The River Classic
Get ready for Central Arkansas’ fastest growing cycling event over the last five years – the Young Life River Classic. This event is a fundraiser for Young Life’s Southside youth ministry program that works with teenagers in underserved communities south of I-630. The 2023 ride was our largest to date, and we’re hoping to keep that momentum going in 2024.
NEW IN 2024!
The 2024 River Classic is now part of the Big Dam Bridge 100 official training program. Through a partnership with the Big Dam Bridge Foundation and Arvest Bank, participants in the Big Dam Bridge ride will ride the River Classic as a “Dress Rehearsal” for the following week’s BDB100. Find out more about the training program here.
