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

MORE INFO ABOUT HASH – The Little Rock Hash House Harriers is part of the loosely organized group of clubs known collectively as the “Hash”. Since its founding in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the Hash has spread to most of the larger cities of the world, following the simple philosophy: “Running should be fun.” Based on the English game of “Hound and the Hare”, the Hash involves a group of runners (the “Hounds”) who try to follow a trail marked in flour or toilet paper by the leader (the “Hare”). The ultimate goal is to find the finish (the “On-In”) where vast quantities of beer and other refreshments are consumed.The Little Rock Hash House Harriers, founded in 1974, is one of the oldest Hash chapters in the United States.
