This is a one day event with up to 7 stages on Sunday.

All Racers, regardless of age or category will race the same course and stages. There will B line options for more difficult areas – or walk anything you do not feel comfortable riding. Stages must be completed in order, and only one time, unless otherwise noted.
To keep our production quality high there will be a cap on the number of Racers. Once that number has been reached registration will be closed. If it is at least three days prior to the race a Wait List will be created (see Wait List section). Plan accordingly and register as soon as possible so you do not miss out.
We will also offer a “Just Ride” category where participants can ride the enduro courses on Friday & Saturday after the Wildcat Marathon is over. Just Ride participants cannot be on the course during the Enduro race. This is an untimed category and is not required if you are registered to do the timed Enduro race. Event Swag & Post Race Meal included in Just Ride – no raffle ticket. You can register via BikeReg.

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.

ENDURE THE DIRT 5K MACKS PRAIRIE WINGS STUTTGART ARKANSAS
Beginners to elite athletes are welcome to participate in the fourth ENDURE THE DIRT adventure race that’s mission is to raise money to motivate, encourage, and educate cancer patients and their caregivers.
ENDURE THE DIRT is a 5K mud run that consists of obstacles that are engineered to test your strength and tackle your fears. Located on the flat land of Stuttgart surrounding Mack’s Prairie Wings, this course is designed for a healthy individual to understand what a cancer patient endures daily. Fellow participants will be there to give you a boost and help you conquer each task, just as the cancer patient has their caregivers to help them tackle cancer.
NOW WE SPRINT VIRTUAL CHALLENGE 50 MILES OR MORE (JANUARY 1st 2022)
Marc Stringer started his cancer regimen with 25 radiation treatments and 5 chemotherapy treatments. This wasn’t the end. After his esophagectomy, he continued with chemotherapy treatments for 3 years. We can’t even begin to count how many rounds he received some being 2 types of drugs some being 3.
This is what many cancer patients have to ENDURE, rounds, and rounds of treatment. These treatments can bring side effects that are undesirable. They can literally make you so sick all you want to do is stay in bed.
The NOW WE SPRINT VIRTUAL 50 MILE OR MORE RUN begins January 1ST, 2022.
Why in January? Because of the weather. Cancer patients have to deal with extreme circumstances just like you may have to deal with extreme weather. We want you to be uncomfortable, just like cancer patients are uncomfortable every day while battling the dreaded disease.
The Virtual race is also a great way to get ready for Endure the Dirt. Enter your miles by Feb 28, 2022.
THE RETURN of the Mini Mudder
This year we are bringing back the popular Mini Mudder. This is a great way for kids who may be too small for our obstacles on the main course to still get down and dirty for cancer.
