Arkansas Backyard Ultra Championship
2023-06-10 06:00 - 18:00 | Big Spring Park, 183 Big Spring Pkwy, Cotter, AR, 72626, United States
Arkansas Backyard Ultra Experience
The 2nd Annual Arkansas Backyard Ultra Championship will take place at the Historic Big Springs Park in Cotter, Arkansas. The flat & scenic out-and-back route follows an old railroad bed along the White River and there’s a Natural Spring to re-invigorate your beaten body after the race. Food will be provided every 6 hours at the “One More Yard Cafe” and a menu will be announced prior to the event so you know what to expect. There will also be water and electrolyte coolers available throughout the race at the starting area but all other energy/food support is provided by the runner. Each runner will have room for a chair and a small bag/cooler by the corral. Runner spots by the corral are not first come, first gets. Once a runner times out, or decides they will not continue, they will ceremoniously bang the massive gong announcing they’re done and remove their chair and belongings from the starting corral area; allowing other runners to move closer.​
The beauty of the backyard format is that it ‘smooths’ the advantages that age, gender, and speed oftentimes play in running events and rewards to a higher degree the runner with mental toughness and grit. There will be ONE winner; everyone else gets the gong and DNF. Let’s get Arkansas on the Backyard map as a competitive destination race by putting up some big miles. As Laz often says, “It only takes two to tango”

The Hobbs War Eagle Trail Running Festival began back in 2006 as a 10 mile trail race with a couple dozen participants. During the first few years the event was known as the Hobbs Tail Twister benefiting the Rogers Lions Club. We are grateful for the continued support from our runners and are proud of having donated more than $100,000 to the Rogers Lions Club and the Friends of Hobbs. Each year we strive to make it just a little better than the year before. The trails at Hobbs are among the most “runnable” in NW Arkansas. Not too technical or steep. Perfect for first time trail racers or veterans wanting to cover the trails as fast as possible. We love Hobbs, love our event and love our runners. We encourage you to come out and join us for some fun at Hobbs SP.

ABOUT US
The Girls Shelter of Fort Smith – A United Way Community Partner – opened in 1970 as a temporary emergency shelter. Since then, the Shelter has developed and grown onto a long-term residential treatment facility. In April 2002, a new 7,000 square-foot facility was built on a two-acre lot at South 26th and Quincy. The shelter is licensed for eight girls, ages 12 – 17 years old. During the Summer, our girls will volunteer for one of our sponsors United Way and their agencies.
The Girls Shelter strives to develop its residents into responsible citizens and community members. The girls are:

Taught social and independent living skills.
Given a sense of self-worth and taught to be responsible for their actions and decisions.
Taught job skills and money management by working summer jobs.
Required to attend and take an active part in school.
Given individual treatment plans including structured goals and objectives.
Provided counseling.
The long-term goal of the Girls Shelter is to reunite the resident with her family.

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide a safe and encouraging atmosphere in a residential setting for at risk females aged 12 – 17 years; to promote positive behaviors, character enhancement, educational advancement, and to reunite with family.
Many of our residents have had a less than desirable childhood. Common histories include physical and sexual abuse,
parents with drug issues, parents in prison and homelessness.
We teach personal responsibility, independent living skills and positive social skills. We provide case management,
individual and family counseling.
We provide a safe home environment, all food, transportation, personal items, and clothing. They receive individual and family counseling.
As one Board member put it, “we have one year to pour all the good into them we can possibly give them”.

We are also happy to announce that this year’s race has been designated as a Grand Prix Race by the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA)!
The Tad Pole Trot, Presented by Centennial Bank will take place May 5th at 5:45 pm at the Conway High School track. This will be a short race and is for kids ages 3-10 years old. Prizes and t-shirts are available!
The Toad Suck Daze 10K Race was started by the Conway Kiwanis Club in 1982 and run in conjunction with the then-new Toad Suck Daze Festival. In 1984, First National Bank (now Regions) began a race in memory of a fellow employee, Randy Baker, who died of cancer. The Randy Baker 8K was conducted for two years, with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society. In 1986, the Conway Kiwanis Club approached Regions Bank, and the two races were combined. The annual Toad Suck Daze Run is held in memory of Randy Baker, with proceeds benefiting non-profit agencies supporting children in the Faulkner County community. The 2022 recipients included: Children’s Advocacy Alliance, Community Connections, Community Service Inc, Compass Academy, HAVEN, Main Stage Education Series at Reynolds Performance Hall, Conway Area Youth Leadership Institute, and Milestones Services Inc.
Today, the Run includes both a 10K and a 5K Run/Walk, a Wheelchair event, a Tadpole Trot for children ages 3-10. Since its inception, the run has contributed over $450,000 to support local non-profits, and the Run strives to increase its contributions to the Faulkner County community each year.

ABOUT BATTLE FOR HOPE
The Heather Ridley-Fleeman Battle for Hope is a run/walk event held the first Saturday in May each year at the Old Tiger Stadium in Bentonville. The event began in 2005 as a way to honor the life of Heather Ridley-Fleeman and raise awareness of colon cancer. Heather died in 2004 at the young age of 28 after a long battle with colon cancer.
The following year, a close group of Heather’s family and friends partnered with Hope Cancer Resources to help make sure other cancer patients have access to the care they need during treatment and to educate individuals that early detection does save lives.
During her life, Heather was a member of the Walmart supplier community. She was also dedicated to supporting agencies that work to help cancer patients through treatments and make state-of-the-art cancer research locally accessible.
By participating in Battle for Hope, you can help Hope Cancer Resources continue the mission of providing cancer support and education to cancer patients in Northwest Arkansas. Register online today. All proceeds from Battle for Hope go directly to Hope Cancer Resources. Individual runners and walkers, as well as teams are encouraged to participate. Sponsorships are available as well.
