Central Arkansas Cyclocross - Race 1
2024-11-16 10:00 - 17:00 | The Meadows Office Park, 355 Ledgelawn Dr,, Conway, AR, 72034, United States
Welcome to the Central Arkansas Cyclocross Series “CACS”
The atmosphere of cyclocross racing is what draws many racers and fans to the sport. Cyclocross is very spectator friendly with the courses set up in local parks and the short races happening at high speeds. Although the racing can be highly competitive on the course, there’s a festival environment outside the course tape.
What is Cyclocross?
Cyclocross combines elements of road cycling, mountain biking, and steeplechase. Races are relatively short (20-60 minutes), held on 2.5- to 3.5-kilometer closed circuit courses in parks and open spaces. Riders race over varying amounts of pavement, grass, dirt, and sand.
Can I use a mountain bike or gravel bike for cyclocross?
Almost any standard bicycle with two wheels can be used for cyclocross at local cyclocross races. Bicycles with drop handlebars are standard equipment for cyclocross, but flat bars (with no forward or upward extensions) are allowed. Gravel bikes can be used for cyclocross races, Drop handlebars are required at USA Cycling Cyclocross National.
Tire Width Rules for Cyclocross
The condensed version is that any tire width is allowed for local USA Cycling-permitted cyclocross races.
Points for the Series
Points for each race will be awarded based on how many participants come and the race. The winner of the series will be awarded

High In The Ozarks
2024-11-16 09:00 - 17:00 | Byrd’s Adventure Center, 7307 Cass Oark Road, Ozark, 72949, United States
What It Is…

This is an extreme gravel event that will test your mind, body, and soul. You will ride 76 miles and cover 8,000 feet of vertical gain over remote, demanding and unforgettable terrain. Unforgettable partly because of relentless climbing but more so because it might be the most beautiful place you’ll ever pedal your bike.

What It’s Not…

This is not a race and it is not a pampered ride. And it’s definitely not flat. We have a safety-first mentality and have coordinated with local EMS providers in case of emergency, but we will have limited ability to provide on-course services beyond food, water, and medical. Your bike and in particular your brake pads, MUST be in excellent condition. We will have very limited ability to provide sag support so ride within yourself, stay hydrated, and plan to finish the day under your own power.

Squatch Till You Drop
2024-11-16 08:00 - 17:00 | Allsopp Park Pavillion, Allsopp Park Rd, Little Rock, AR, 72202, United States
Local folklore speaks of Sasquatch sightings during the early history of Little Rock AR. Through the mid to late 1800s, several different companies harvested the forests that later became Hillcrest and the Heights neighborhoods, and Allsopp Park. Loggers would tell tales of “huge, man-like beasts” roaming the woods at night. Since the dedication of Allsopp Park in 1931 and the development of surrounding areas, Sasquatch sightings have decreased but do persist. There have been multiple unconfirmed Sasquatch sightings in this area since 1932. Others believe the majority of the Sasquatch population migrated to Miller County and are now known as the “Fouke Monster”.
“Squatch Till You Drop” is a trail running event at Allsopp Park South that pays tribute to this legend. Participants will traverse these Sasquatch habitats on very technical single track that will challenge even the fittest of runners.
2 separate runs make up this event. The first is the “Fun Run”, open to all ages. The Fun Run is a single lap of the course.
The second run is The Squatch, open to participants ages 16+. Participants will complete as many laps of the course as they can within 6 hours.
The course is approximately 5k. Both the Fun Run and The Squatch use the same course.
Do you have what it takes to “Squatch Till You Drop”? Register today and on November 16th take on the challenge!

26th Annual HashFest Red Dress Weekend
2024-11-15 - 2024-11-17 | Arlington Hotel Resort and Spa, 239 Central Avenue, Hot Springs National Park, 71901, United States
The Little Rock Hash House Harriers invite you to the 26th Annual HashFest Red Dress Weekend 2024, November 15-17, in beautiful Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas.
We’re back with all of the usual debauchery you’ve come to expect from the Little Rock Hash House Harriers. The city residents are anxiously awaiting our return, so start looking for that perfect red dress, and don’t forget to accessorize. (You must wear a red dress, or facsimile thereof, to run on Saturday.)
For a paltry fee of $74.69 ($84.69 after October 15) you get all this great stuff:
1. A genuine Hashfest Gimme (If registered and paid before November 1),
2. Loads of brewski, snacks, and other pleasures of the Hashpitality Suite,
3. Three Hash Runs, including the traditional Friday Night Kilted Pub Crawl (mostly pay as you go), the Saturday Afternoon Red Dress Run, and the Sunday Morning Hangover Run, and
4. A donation to a non-profit to be determined.
Once again, the Hash will attempt to get thrown out of the historic Arlington Hotel and its epic hot tub in scenic Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. (We were SO VERY close last year!) For reservations, call (501) 623-7771 or visit arlingtonhotel.com. Regular room rates start at $129 per night. If you’d like to help us keep civilians from being annoyed by the shenanigans of the Hash Suite, book a room on the 4th floor as close as possible to the Al Capone Suite.

Whitney's Race 2024
2024-11-09 11:00 - 14:00 | U.S. Marshalls Museum, 789 Riverfront Drive, Fort Smith, United States
Whitney’s Race is not just Whitney’s race. It is a race against time for those yet to be afflicted with pancreatic cancer, the most deadly cancer. It is Time To Cure® pancreatic cancer. Whitney’s Time To Cure® has passed. Whitney Marsh perished at age 41, November 1, 2018, ten months after diagnosis with pancreatic cancer. Five-year survival from pancreatic cancer stands at 6-9% showing little to no improvement in survival in the past 50 years despite vast medical advances across almost all other cancers. Pancreatic cancer is currently the number two cancer killer in 2020 and researchers estimate pancreatic cancer will be the number one by 2030. Diagnosis is often late begetting the need for local medical practitioner education as well as research for improved diagnostic testing and imaging. Once a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer has been made treatment usually involves chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy followed by curative intent surgery followed by more chemotherapy. Whitney was scheduled for surgery, but the day before surgery a CT scan showed cancer had spread. She died within 4 months of the CT scan while re-starting chemotherapy and running 8-10 miles or biking 30-40 miles per day. Even the super-healthy are no match. Better pre-operative treatment options are the future. Whitney’s Race will fund the Whitney Marsh Foundation Inc for local education and national research for Pancreatic Cancer. Funds will be apportioned locally and the remainder with well respected national cancer research institutes such as MD Anderson. Whitney’s Race is a race against time. It is Time To Cure® pancreatic cancer.
Whitney’s Race day at the Marshals Museum will be a great day of running, racing, eating, and music. Race for your best time and afterward hang out for a great time. Bring yourself and friends to race. It is a day for family and friends who run or not. If you don’t want to race, come anyway. If you can’t come, consider a donation anytime! A brighter future for pancreatic cancer starts with YOU.
