SUMMARY:Ouachita Triple Crown
DESCRIPTION:We are rolling out more Type 2 fun. Jackalope is stoked to partner with the city of Hot Springs to keep The Ouachita Triple Crown part of the Gudrun Northwoods Festival. Participants are encouraged to join in on the rest of the Gudrun activities and parties\, it is a great time in the Northwoods! \nThe Ouachita Triple Crown route was first mapped by Kenny Williams in 2019.  He wanted to link together three International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) Epic Trails into one epic bikepacking route.  When connected by gravel roads\, the Ouachita Trail (OT)\, the Womble Trail\, and the Lake Ouachita Vista Trail (LOViT) create a circle around Lake Ouachita. \nIMBA Epic Trails are the best of the best\, and Arkansas has more of them that any other state.  The Ouachita Mountains\, composed of rocky ridges and narrow\, spring cooled valleys\, is the perfect landscape for an IMBA Epic Trail.  The mountains are wild\, beautiful\, and rugged. \nPARTICIPANTS MUST SIGN UP WITH TRACKLEADERS FOR THE EVENT! \nOctober 1st will be the last day for half refund for anyone that needs to withdraw. An event shirt or requested shirt size will only be promised for participants registered by October 15th. \nHopefully there will not be a goddamned monsoon again this year……………….

SUMMARY:Whitney's Race
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWhitney’s Race day at the Fort Smith Bakery District 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.

SUMMARY:27th Annual HashFest Red Dress Weekend
DESCRIPTION:The Little Rock Hash House Harriers invite you to the 27th Annual HashFest Red Dress Weekend 2025\, November 14-16\, in beautiful Hot Springs National Park\, Arkansas. \nWe’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 trail on Saturday.) \nFor a paltry fee of $74.69 ($84.69 after October 15) you get all this great stuff: \n1. A genuine Hashfest Gimme (If registered and paid before November 1)\,\n2. Loads of brewski\, snacks\, and other pleasures of the Hashpitality Suite (the usual Al Capone Suite)\,\n3. 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\n4. A donation to a non-profit to be determined. \nOnce 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 $109 per night. If you’d like to help us keep civilians from being annoyed by the shenanigans of the Hash Suite\, ask to book a room on the 4th floor as close as possible to the Al Capone Suite.

SUMMARY:High In The Ozarks
DESCRIPTION:What It Is…\n\n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\nWhat It’s Not…\n\n\n\nThis 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.
