•Run on a standard 400 meter track
•Grand Prix Championship Event
•Two separate heats to decrease track congestion

Day of race registration: $35.00

Chili and all the fixin’s will be provided

The first One Hour Track Run was held in 1983 as part of Grand Prix II. This run took place in Russellville at the Arkansas Tech University track. The One Hour Track Run was eliminated after one year as the Grand Prix was trimmed to a core of four races for most of the 1980’s. Later incarnations of a One Hour Track Run were located in El Dorado and later Camden, Arkansas, and were a Grand Prix staple in the 1990’s. After 1998, the One Hour Track Run ceased to be run until the Long Distance Running Committee decided to revive it as part of the 25th Running of the Grand Prix in 2006. Fittingly, the One Hour Track Run returned to Russellville for Grand Prix XXV, and was held at the Russellville High School Track.
The course is a standard, 400 meter track. Very Flat! Aid stations every 1/4 mile!
ONE HOUR TRACK RUN WILL BE AT Russellville High School, Russellville,AR 72802

Central Arkansas Cyclocross Series
2025-02-08 10:00 - 16:00 | Conway Tech Park, 1000 Ledgelawn Drive, Conway, 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, along with the short races happening at high speeds. Although the racing can be highly competitive on 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 race. Winner of the series will be awarded
