World Championship Running of the Tubs
2025-06-06 - 2025-06-07 | Fordyce Bathhouse Visitor Center And Museum, 369 Central Avenue, Hot Springs National Park, 71901, United States
For over a century, visitors from all over the world have flocked to Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas to bathe in our thermal waters. But what happens when you take a bathtub and put it on wheels? The Stueart Pennington World Championship Running of the Tubs, that’s what happens! This chaotic celebration of Hot Springs’ spa history is a town favorite!
To celebrate Hot Springs’ classic motto “We Bathe the World” teams from all over get their best bathtubs all dolled up to bring to Hot Springs. But whose tub has the stuff? Four team members (the bath attendants) must push their bathtubs through the heart of the city, the Historic Bathhouse Row, while the team captain sits in the bathtub and steers. Throughout the course, teams will face various obstacles along the way, while dressed in elaborate costumes in hopes to become The World Champion Tub Runners – a sought out title, obviously.
The bathtub must be full of water at the start of the race and have at least 10 gallons of water left in the tub at the finish line. If that isn’t hard enough, each bath attendant must carry one of 4 items (bar of soap, bath mat, loofah mitt, and bath towel) throughout the entire race and present all items at the end of the race. Here’s a fun twist, the judges (sporting bathrobes and clipboards) are encouraged to make up new rules on the spot! Keeping everybody on their toes!
But don’t worry, everybody gets to be a part of the fun. The crowd always comes prepared to spray competitors with water throughout the entire race, in hopes to slow down, distract, or just annoy racers.
Participants can choose to compete in three different divisions: traditional (cast-iron tubs), modified (fiberglass/plastic tubs), or stock (reserved for nonprofits tubs are provided) Each tub and team must meet the qualifications to compete.
If that’s not convincing enough, just wait until you see the annual Battle of the Badge: Hot Springs Police Department vs. Hot Springs Fire Department. Trust us, they take this very seriously. You won’t want to miss witnessing and participating in this wild summer event… so don’t!

Major Taylor 111 at the Port
2025-06-07 07:00 - 17:00 | Little Rock Port Authority, 10600 Industrial Harbor Dr., Little Rock, 72206, United States
“Major Taylor 111 at the Port” is a cycling event created through a partnership of the Major Taylor Cycling Club of Little Rock (MTCCLR) and the local non-profit Recycle Bikes for Kids (RB4K).
MT111 will become one of the most sought-after cycling events in the country. Supported by the Little Rock Port Authority, local cyclists and bike enthusiasts from around the country will want to attend for the unique aspects of this ride with a Major Taylor flavor.
On June 7th, starting at the Little Rock Port Authority headquarters, participants will ride through the Port, visit Wrightsville, Redfield, and continue to Pine Bluff. Riders then proceed to the Arkansas River crossing on Highway 79 and visit England, Keo, and Scott before returning to the Port. The route is one hundred and eleven miles long with shorter options of 62 miles, 50 miles, and 25 miles. There will also be a one-mile sprint segment honoring the race that made Marshall “Major” Taylor a world champion. Sprint through the one-mile Strava segment setup within the MT111 and compare your time to Major Taylor’s winning time at the 1899 World Track Championships of 1 minute, 41 seconds.
This ride will benefit underserved communities. The Major Taylor Cycling Club members will visit schools, educate students about bicycles, distribute free bicycles from RB4K, and hand out books about U.S. pro rider Marshall “Major” Taylor. This not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but also provides a means to exercise for the youth in the state of Arkansas.
In addition, this ride will allow RB4K and MTCCLR to purchase and install bicycle repair stations at the schools, which helps the community where the bike stations are placed, and helps the cycling community as a whole. The first location scheduled to receive a repair stand is the Brooks Library in Wrightsville, Arkansas.
Partnering with the businesses located in the Port of Little Rock, the MT111 will establish a sense of community with the Port, with cyclists and the people that visit Little Rock for this event.
MTCCLR Mission Statement: The Major Taylor Cycling Club of Little Rock shall promote cycling as Recreation and Transportation, promote Physical Fitness, foster Community and Camaraderie, commit to Inclusivity and Support, engage in Charitable Initiatives and offer Educational Outreach.
RB4K Mission Statement: Recycle Bikes for Kids gives free bikes to kids, provides adults the opportunity to earn a bike, and supports bike infrastructure and education in our community.

You have to understand the what and why before you can start to build confidence with the how, that’s what this session is for. Not only will you build a solid understanding of what NEEDS to happen, you’ll also get plenty of reps working through the steps of how it needs to happen, all in a safe and controlled environment.
Topics Covered:

After showcasing the proper technique, you’ll work through a series of reps and the distance will incrementally increase as your comfort level increases. Analysis and feedback using slow motion video will have you “busting big” in no time.
There’s no substitute for experience when it comes to jumping a bike. The only problem is that experience in the right setting can be hard to come by. You’ll get tons reps on our jump lines and receive valuable feedback in the moment.

Demos from our friends at the Specialized Experience Center: TBD for rescheduled date

Hazel Valley is notorious for proving to be an equally epically beautiful and brutal race. That being said, this course is exactly where our Diverge STR and Creo SL shine.

The Creo and STR are the perfect ride for those long, challenging days on the bike. A blend of chunky, smooth, and technical terrain is exactly what this bike was designed for.

This year, Specialized Bentonville is offering riders a first come first serve comped demo for this year’s Hazel Valley Rally! This will give riders the unique opportunity to experience just how capable this bike is. Lucky you!

All you need to do is visit our website at Reserve a bike | Specialized Experience Center Bentonville, AR – Specialized Bentonville and book your corresponding size for April 5, from 10am-5pm, and enter HV Rally in the promo code section for your comped demo!

All bikes will be delivered by the Specialized team Friday evening and available for pick up at our tent Saturday at 8am. Stoked for a rad weekend on bikes out in the beautiful Ozarks!
