Lastly, this series would not be possible without the support from our sponsors. Rejoining for 2023 are Custom Electronics, The Meteor Café, Rapha, and Flyer Homes. Please help by supporting these amazing businesses and leaders in the cycling community.

The duathlon is a USA Triathlon sanctioned event that consists of a 3 mile run, 18 mile bike and 3 mile run. The run courses are flat and fast! The bike course is a out and back on scenic Hwy 71. The finish is located just inside the gate of the Arkansas Air and Military Museum, under the tail section of the C-130 H Hercules!

There will be a get-together for all who want to attend at Norfork Brewing Company in the town of Norfork on Friday evening, April 21, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
A hike is scheduled for Saturday morning, April 22 (start time to be determined). The hike will start at Matney Trailhead, and we’ll travel to Matney Camp on the bank of the White River. We’ll have lunch at the camp and then return to Matney Trailhead.

A hike is scheduled for Sunday morning, April 23 (start time to be determined). The hike will be along two sections of the Norfork Trail that run from Sycamore Highlands to Norfork Dam for a total distance of about 5.2 miles (if the group prefers, we can cut the distance in half).

IMPORTANT NOTICES

If you are planning to attend this year’s Rendezvous, please contact us at ohta@ozarkhighlandstrail.com no later than April 1 so we can make arrangements for catering Saturday evening’s meal. Please let us know the number of folks who will be in your group. PLEASE NOTE, THE SATURDAY EVENING MEAL IS FOR CURRENT OHTA MEMBERS ONLY
If you’re planning on camping in a travel trailer or motor-home at Dam-Quarry Campground (the campground that is adjacent to Norfork River), you may want to reserve a spot as soon as possible. A quick check today of site availability on April 21 and 22 revealed there are only 3 sites left that provide both water and electricity. There are still several sites that provide electricity (you’d have to fill your tank at the water station).

If you’d prefer not to attend the Rendezvous but would like to join either or both of the hikes, you are very welcome to do so!
