SUMMARY:Race the Base Trail Run
DESCRIPTION:Race the Base Trail Run Returns to Pinnacle Mountain State Park This Fall! \nThe Race the Base\, a 4-mile competitive trail run\, is returning to Pinnacle Mountain State Park October 25\, 2025\, with all the fan favorites – plus a few new additions. Featuring the Base Trail at Pinnacle Mountain State Park\, a scenic loop trail that encircles the base of Pinnacle Mountain just west of Little Rock\, first-time participants can expect a moderately challenging trail run through the shaded hardwood forest surrounding one of Arkansas’ most prominent natural landmarks. \nThe race begins on gravel\, switches to paved trails\, and finishes with 2.75 miles of technical single track – with a little surprise thrown in towards the end. Known as “Joe’s Revenge”\, participants will be competing for new King (and Queen) of the Mountain awards for the fastest to run up a daunting forest road that rises some 200 feet in just 1/3 of a mile. It’s all downhill from there (literally)\, as racers vie for their chance to win a “rock” – unique hand painted trophies awarded to the top three male and female participants in several age-based categories. \nThis year’s Race the Base coincides with National Trick or Treat Day (celebrated the last Saturday of October)\, and participants are encouraged to extend their Halloween celebrations by competing in costumes – with crowd favorites awarded something appropriately silly during post-race festivities. The morning also includes the Kingfisher Kids Run – a free kids run on the 3/4-mile paved Kingfisher Trail at approximately 10:00 a.m. No fee\, no frills\, just fun for kids aged 12 and under. Parents are welcome to run\, walk\, or stroll with their kids\, too. \nAfter a decade of production by Partners for Pinnacle\, a nonprofit that has worked to support Pinnacle Mountain State Park\, the race will be produced by Ozark Foundation beginning in 2025 – but participants should expect the same family-friendly festivities that have made Race the Base a popular event for the last decade. \nRace day parking and the starting line will be in Stuckey Field at Barrett Rd and HWY 300 opposite the Pinnacle Mountain State Park entrance located at 9600 AR-300\, Roland\, AR 72135. Start time for Race the Base is 9 a.m.\, with the Kingfisher Kids Run beginning at 10 a.m. \nAwards are three deep for the overall male and female\, and age groups categories by gender for under 19\, 20-29\, 30-39\, 40-49\, 50-59 and 60+. \nRace the Base is capped at 250 runners. Online registration is only $35.00 before midnight on October 24\, 2025\, and includes a commemorative technical t-shirt and post-race refreshments. Onsite race day registration is available for $40. If 250 runners are registered prior to race day\, there will be no race day registrations. \nPre-race packet pickup for Race the Base will be on Friday\, October 24th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Fleet Feet\, located at 11525 Cantrell Rd\, Little Rock\, AR 72212. Race day check-in begins at 7 a.m. at Stuckey Field.

SUMMARY:Tour de Pumpkin
DESCRIPTION:The 17 mile route will be the same as previous years. An aid station will be available in London at the old City Hall parking lot. \nThe 30 mile route has two deviations from previous years’ route. This year the route will turn left on Whorton Mountain Rd off of Will Baker Rd\, then turn right on Martin Chapel School Rd. This change will bypass a section of hwy 333 and avoid an area known to have aggressive dogs.  A new location for an aid station will be at Martin Chapel. Restrooms will be available. The second deviation is from Mill Creek Rd at East Point Baptist Church. Turn right onto Bailey Loop and follow to the end and turn right onto Mill Creek Rd. This change is to avoid Mill Creek Rd that has seen increased vehicle traffic with no shoulder. \nThis years event is purposefully minimal with no T-shirt and a lower registration fee. Efforts are underway to drastically improve the Tour de Pumpkin event for 2026 through a joint cooperative committee and business sponsorship. The goal is to offer a quality supported event with a post ride meal\, t-shirt\, swag bag\, and improved routes and aid stations. \nStarting at 10 am a balance bike course will be available in Downtown (at Denver and B Street) for children under 8 years old. This is a free course complete with bikes and helmets. \nCostumes are highly encourage for all participants.
