SUMMARY:Springhill Classic
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Springhill Classic is hosted by the ARNICA team “River Valley Marshals”!  Thank you for supporting this event to help us “GET MORE KIDS ON BIKES” in the Fort Smith and surrounding river valley communities. \nOpening remarks and safety briefing will be at 7:30am near the Start/Finish line. \nWe have merch!  Online only\, for a small cost\, River Valley Marshal socks are available until sold out; Online only\, event T-Shirts are available for purchase to participants who register prior to July 8th. Pending approval\, available at the event for a designated donation\, other MTB style T-shirts will be available and printed on site in various sizes! \nLunch will be provided to participants at no charge.  Any extra food will be made available (please consider a donation) once all participants have had a chance to eat. \nThe 10 and Under course will be 2 laps on a 1.4 mile inside course loop close to the Pit Zone so you can cheer them on. \n\nThe 11-14 year old racers may recognize the old ARNICA racecourse with a little added to make it 4.4 miles long. \n\nFor the rest of the racers\, the full course of 6.44 miles will be used.  Some returning veterans to the SH Classic will recall the course being 9+ miles\, however as you will soon find out\, there is a new bridge being constructed over the Arkansas River which cut off about 2 miles of the trail system.

SUMMARY:Tour de Salvation
DESCRIPTION:Your registration fee benefits The Salvation Army’s Pathway of Hope program. This program provides individualized services to families with children who desire to take action to break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability that repeats generation after generation. It seeks to address the root causes of poverty in addition to The Army’s history of compassionate serving. By helping families overcome challenges like unemployment\, unstable housing\, and lack of education\, we can lead families down a path toward increased stability and\, ultimately\, self-sufficiency. \nJoin us for a family friendly\, multi “bike”\, ride in our beautiful Hot Springs!\nYou will have the option to ride your road bike only\, MTB only\, or BOTH!! Yes\, we will have routes that include both road AND mountain. We will have a shuttle for your bikes at the exchange location. \nAfter you have worked up a good appetite come celebrate your finish at our After Party. (Farmers Market) Your “tour” registration includes food and drink\, t-shirt\, and other awesome swag. (Family Ride includes Finisher Medal\, food and drink only) We have put in a lot of time into planning\, and months of meetings to bring you a fun unique experience in our beautiful city on your bike! \nCome enjoy music\, food\, and drinks provided by The Salvation Army Canteen\, and good family fun! Not riding? No worries! You can buy a ticket to the after party and join in on the festivities by being a virtual rider. \nSAG and Aid Stations will be available on each route. \n***Riders must wear bib numbers (supplied with registration) to obtain food and access to certain areas of the route. Medical support will be available; however\, medical personnel will not be dispensing comfort medications such as: aspirin\, ibuprofen\, Tylenol. Participants are asked to bring their own comfort medications as needed. \nHelmets are required for ALL riders regardless of the route you ride or your age. \nPlease download and save the route you plan to ride!!! All the routes will be well marked but it always helps to have the route on your bike computer! All routes are below. \nFull Tour de Salvation\nIf you plan to ride the Full Tour route\, you have the option to bring two different bikes. Many riders will ride the road route with a road bike (or gravel bike) and then switch to their mountain bike (MTB). Or you can complete the entire ride on your MTB!  If you plan to switch bikes\, remember to bring the shoes you need for each bike! You will need to “check in” your mountain bike and MTB shoes by 6:45 am on the day of the event. Your MTB will be shuttled to the switch point. Once you switch bikes at the trail\, you will leave your road bike at the switch point and it will be shuttled back to the start point. After completing the mountain bike trail ride at the Pullman Trailhead\, you will simply ride your MTB on the road for 2.5 miles back through downtown (bathhouse row) to the Farmer’s Market.
