As a signature event of the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), NPLD fosters a strong connection between people and the environment, educating and cultivating environmental stewards. Held on the fourth Saturday in September each year, NPLD is also a “Fee-Free Day” where entrance fees are waived at national parks and public lands. With support from federal and state agencies, corporate sponsors, and nonprofits, this event ensures resilient natural spaces for generations to come, encouraging volunteering and environmental engagement.
The theme for NPLD 2024 is “Together for Tomorrow.” From trail maintenance to tree planting, beach clean-ups to forest bathing, and more, volunteers of all ages and abilities will roll up their sleeves and join forces for a common goal—stewarding America’s natural resources for future generations to enjoy.

We are excited to announce that this year’s NPLD will be held at Rock Creek Trail and the surrounding streets beginning at 9 a.m. Rock Creek Trail was hit hard by the tornado and needs a lot of love.

Join us to cut back invasive species, clear out the trail and pick up litter.
Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. Please sign-up so we can have an accurate count for planning purposes.
Check in at the trailhead behind the strip mall.

Big Dam Bridge 100
2024-09-28 08:00 - 17:00 | Riverfront Drive, 398 Riverfront Dr, North Little Rock, AR, 72114, United States
The Big Dam Bridge 100 began with a group of enthusiastic cyclists from central Arkansas who formed the Big Dam Bridge Foundation (BDBF). The BDBF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to promote the use, support and preservation of the Big Dam Bridge for the advancement of health, fitness, cultural and recreational activities in Arkansas.
The Big Dam Bridge connects approximately 20 miles of scenic riverside trails in the cities of Little Rock and North Little Rock and assists in the connection of 70,000 acres of city, county, state and federal park land. More importantly, the Big Dam Bridge connects people by fostering a sense of community and provides a venue for community members to engage in community events. The Foundation has raised money for several projects through the Big Dam Bridge 100, including the Pitstop Pavilion, recently opened on the Little Rock side of the bridge.
Arkansas’ premier cycling event started in 2006 with the opening of the Big Dam Bridge. The Big Dam Bridge 100 used Burns Park as the Finish line area, but then moved to historic Argenta in North Little Rock to showcase more of central Arkansas. Slowly it has built into an international event, featuring timed rides, onsite photography, a 15-mile family ride, opportunities for fundraising, out-of-state clubs participating with the support of local, regional and national sponsors.
The Big Dam Bridge 100 is a place-builder. This ride promotes one of Arkansas most popular tourist attractions, has influenced the development of trails and other bridges and helps give central Arkansas a reputation as a cycling-friendly community. In addition, thousands of people visit the Little Rock / North Little Rock areas and enjoy our special brand of southern hospitality while experiencing 100+ miles of beautiful scenery and friendly people.

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.

THE MUD RUN – LITTLE ROCK’S DIRTIEST 5K
2024-09-21 08:00 - 12:00 | War Memorial Park, 5101 W Markham St, Little Rock, AR, 72205
Here’s the Down & Dirty . . .
Created for those who think a little differently about this runnin’ stuff. Definitely NOT your average 5K, the Mud Run is for those with an adventuresome spirit.
Participants run, walk, skip, trot and even cavort through our 5K(ish – please refer to helpful hints section for the clarification of “ish”) course, which winds through the scenic trails of War Memorial Park, then finish with a spectacular frolic (yes, style points are given to participants when they enter the pit) through our world-renowned mud pit, which is filled with that amazing (and organic) Arkansas mud.
The point is not to finish fast, but to finish with style.
