Arkansas NICA Race 1 - Plateau Region
2024-09-07 - 2024-09-08 | Sager Creek, 2000 Villa View Dr., Siloam Springs, United States
One of the great things about a NICA League, which separates us from other youth cycling development programs, is we produce our own youth-specific events. This means we pick out race venues and work directly with landowners and managers to produce the highest quality youth development racecourses and events. The student-athletes get a stage of their own, away from adult competitions, and we strive for safety and fun above all other factors.
The Arkansas League will produce a total of 7 events in 2024. On our Time Trial weekend we will have a special Race Clinic Event on that Saturday aimed at getting more girls on bikes in addition to allowing newer riders have a practice race, attend a race clinic and do their first mass start. Followed by a Prelude Time Trial and 4 races in the fall. New for 2024 we have 2 Regions. Plains (Central, South and NE Arkansas) and Plateaus (NWA and OK generally). The competitive racing will consist of 2 regional events, and 2 All league Events. We will crown regional champions at the end of Race 3 based of total points and also have a true “winner take all” State Championship Event at Race 4. Athletes must have attended atleast 2 prior races to be eligible to win the State Championship.

This race honors our local courageous heroes – healthcare professionals, military personnel, and first responders. Its purpose is to raise awareness of the sacrifices made daily by these heroes and to unite in their honor. The community is invited to honor our hometown heroes and those who have served in the military while paying tribute to the heroes of today who are working on our frontlines.
The Hero 5k Ran/Walk grew in memory of Major Ronald Wayne Culver, who died in Iraq on May 24th, 2010. Major Culver served multiple combat deployments throughout his military career and served on countless programs and organizations in our local community. He was a true American hero who courageously sacrificed his life for our country.
This race also honors Leslie Darden, a hero & inspiration to so many in the racing world. She pushed people to be the best they could be through her steadfast encouragement, uplifting cheers, and empowering guidance! Leslie was an alumna of SouthArk and worked in the healthcare industry for 12 years.
It is an honor for us to recognize the courageous spirit of all of our hometown heroes including healthcare professionals, firefighters, military, and law enforcement who serve and protect our community! We wish to raise awareness of the sacrifices made daily by these heroes and unite to honor all those who have stepped up to earn the title of HERO.

The 12th Annual Omega Prostate/Colon Cancer Awareness 5K Run/ Walk is a race event for which all the proceeds are donated in support of The Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation, American Cancer Society and scholarships for High School students.
We are grateful for the continued opportunity to raise money to help these two organization and continue to provide scholarships to deserving high school students. With the support of the community, last year we increased our participants to over 267 runners and walkers and we were able to raise $5,715.62 above expenses that has been distributed to support the Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation, the American Cancer Society and scholarships for deserving high school students through the Omegas of Greater Little Rock, Incorporated non-profit corporation. These organizations greatly appreciate the support that you gave to last year’s event.
Too many men will hear the words “You have prostate cancer” in this calendar year. Our goal is to increase the recognition, discussion, education, and promotion of yearly screenings for prostate and Colon cancer. According to the latest prostate cancer statistics from the National Cancer Institute, about 240,000 men will receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer, and about 33,000 men will die of the disease. Overall, about 17%, or 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. More than 2.5 million men in America are now living with a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Reports show that prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men in the United States, accounting for about 11% of cancer related deaths in men. Colon Cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women combined in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that this year 136,830 people will be diagnosed and 50,310 will die from this disease.
Thank you in advance for your continued support to help us knock out Prostate and Colon cancer!
