Hope Watermelon 5K
2024-08-10 07:30 - 09:00 | Fair Park – Hope, AR, 1359 Park Dr, Hope, AR, 71801, United States
Race starts leaving Fair park and going East on Park drive. Mostly flat with a few winding turns, then heading to Elm street going back north for two blocks lining up for the long straight away on Main.
Runners continue along Main St rewarded with a small gradual downhill until near the 1.5 mile point. Main St then moves gradually back uphill and the race route continues this gradual incline after making a right turn onto 16th street until just before the 2 mile marker.
At this point the course is gradually downhill until after the turn onto Grady Street, where the route levels off. The now weary runners will take Grady north to 7th Street where a left turn is made. The route angles to the southwest onto Park Dr. The road then turns back due west for the final straightaway. It is now time for the runners to begin their finishing kicks as the 3 mile marker and the finish line back in Fair Park are finally in sight!

Ozark Enduro Lite Race 3 Slaughter Pen Bentonville AR
2024-08-11 08:00 - 17:00 | Slaughter Pen Trails, 2898 NW A St., Bentonville, 72712, United States
Curious about Enduro Mountain Bike Racing? Not sure how an Enduro race works? Let us help you get your feet wet with the Ozark Enduro LITE Series. A short summer series of 3 beginner friendly enduro races. All rider abilities are welcome but the Ozark Enduro Lite Series is aimed at introducing new folks to the awesome sport of Enduro racing.
Enduro racing is primarily downhill timed segments, ranging anywhere from just less than a minute per stage to up to 5-6 minutes that may require some pedaling. A typical Ozark Enduro Lite race will consist of 6-8 downhill segments. Your time will start when you enter the top of a segment and will end when you reach the bottom of that segment. There will be connecting routes to transition between each segment that will not be timed. Only the segments are timed. Riders often ride with groups and make new friends while enjoying the trails during the transfers. After completing all the downhill segments, your total time will be compared with the times of other riders to see how you did.
You will be required to have a fully functional mountain bike with off-road tires and a proper fitting helmet. Full face helmets are recommended but not mandatory. Other recommended items are gloves, eye protection, knee pads, elbow pads. We also strongly encourage carrying the necessary items for minor bike repair such as tire plugs, tubes, CO2, spare chain links etc.
There will be aid stations, however, it is important to carry enough water and nutrition to last throughout the race. Typical durations will be anywhere from 2-4 hours depending on the course and each rider’s ability.
None of these races would be possible without volunteers. Volunteer help will be needed at every race, and we would love to make you a part of our event and give you some cool swag. There will be multiple volunteer opportunities such as helping at an aid station, course marshaling, and race setup and tear down. Click HERE to learn more.

Scorchin' Squirrel Trail Run
2024-08-17 07:00 - 14:00 | Ferncliff, 1720 Ferncliff Rd, Little Rock, AR, 72223, United States
The Scorching’ Squirrel is a trail race through Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center’s 1200 acres located just 10 miles west of Little Rock. There are 4 distance options: a 10k (1 loop), 11.5 mile (2 loops), 15.5 mile (3 loops) or 19.5 mile (4 loops). All distances are approximate. Each loop passes through 1 full aid station and one water drop. There will be refreshments at the end with a cook out at the pool. Please bring stuff to share although Fleet Feet Little Rock and Ferncliff will provide burgers and hot dogs. We will begin serving food at 10 AM. No glass containers please. No pets.
This is a great race for heat training and for trying out trail running with the shorter distances. There is quite a bit of incline throughout the course and a few water crossings in wet weather.
All the distances end back at the start of the race, which is at the Ferncliff pool pavilion. The pool will be open after the race. It has a large covered pavilion and runners can cool off and enjoy some food and refreshments. There are lots of changing stalls.
Any proceeds from the event will support Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center. If you’d like to reserve lodging the evening before the event call 501-821-3063 to reserve a room or cabin.
It takes about 25 volunteers to do this event right. Would you like to volunteer and have a great time supporting runners? If so please fill out this very brief volunteer application: https://forms.gle/HeqTSnAQR2WghPqn6

History of the Broken Sword:
As the legend goes, the sword was broken in battle along a swift creek over the forbidden love between a lost explorer and the chief’s daughter of the native Quapaw tribe. Years later, DeSoto and his Spanish explorers were passing through this area when they came upon the same swift creek. As they crossed the stream, DeSoto stumbled upon the broken sword and cried “Spadra!” (espada is Spanish for sword), and so was named Spadra Creek, “Stream of the Broken Sword.”
Today, the beautiful Spadra Creek still flows swiftly through the heart of Clarksville and features prominently along the racecourse.
