In the state of Arkansas alone, nearly 3,900 kids are waiting in foster care. Through no fault of their own, 210 of those children and teens have had their parental rights terminated and are waiting to be adopted. We believe there are NO unwanted children, just unfound families and we are passionate about finding them!

Beast of Burden
2024-11-02 - 2024-11-03 | Mount Kessler Park, 2600 W. Judge Cummings Road, Fayetteville, AR, 72701, United States
Ozark Off-Road Cyclist and the Ozark Trail Runners unite to create the most epic 24 25 hour party you’ve ever experienced. Profits from this “race” will go to continued preservation and trail development on Mt. Kessler. Join us on November 2nd, Mt. Kessler – Fayetteville, Arkansas for a full day of partying in the dirt. Individuals or teams will take on the challenge to ride or run from 12pm on Saturday to 12pm on Sunday, thanks to daylight savings time, you get an extra hour for free!
The “Race” – 24 (+ 1 hour for free) hours of either mtb or trail running madness, or….BOTH! The team/solo individual with the most laps wins.
The Course – The course will be comprised of 2 separate loops, with participants rotating loops every 6 hours. Runners and riders will be on their own separate loops to minimize congestion. Each loop is roughly 4-6 miles long. One loop is easy, one loop will have you dreaming cozy warmth of the campfire.
The Teams* – Teams must have a team captain (primary contact). Teams are either fully bike or fully run, or dual sport and comprised of 2-4 participants on the Ultra team or 5-7 participants on the Endurance team (dual sport teams can have up to 8). You choose how much you want to work. Go for the win, or occasionally exert yourself and spend the rest of the time throwing back Fossil Cove’s tasty beverages. 1 person does 90% of the work or split it evenly. It’s up to you! Each team will receive one timing chip (triathlon style band) that can only be exchanged in the Campout Zone.
Note that run/ride teams will have 2 timing chips, one can only used for running and one only for riding. So, it is possible run/ride teams to have two participants on the course at one time, but only one of each discipline.
*You can also choose to participate solo, but remember, no one asked you to do this.
The Party – Let’s be honest, the whole thing is the party, but since you asked. Dinner and breakfast are provided. Trailside Coffee starts when the bell tolls 12. Bumping tunes. Team Spirit competition. Fire pits burning through the night and more to come. Also, Rise Physical Therapy will be keeping participants feeling fresh and limber, while Phat Tire will be keeping them bikes uh’ rollin’,

Hare Mountain 100
2024-11-01 06:00 - 17:00 | Haw Creek Falls Recreation Area, Hagarville, AR, 72839, United States
100 mile Friday November 1st-7am-Haw Creek Falls
50 mile Saturday November 2nd-6am-Indian Creek TH
This run is extremely difficult.
The Ozark Highland’s Trail is a national scenic trail marked with white blazes for the main trail and blue blazes for spurs. Do not count on flagging. It will be minimal if any. We are going to add more blazes and reflective tape to those blazes. Please do not register for this race if you are not comfortable being self sufficient and comfortable with navigation. Sometimes trees with markers fall and sometimes the fog is so thick you cannot see your hands. Gaia is highly recommended.
No one finished the full, original course the inaugural running October 2023.
The Hare Mountain 100 is a point-to-point 100 mile run, that incorporates 2 scenic loops, along the Ozark Highlands Trail in the Northwestern part of Arkansas across the Boston Mountain segment. Hare Mountain is the highest point on the OHT at nearly 2400 feet. This segment covers 164 miles of rocky, steep and rugged forest with several creek crossings, incredible fall colors, waterfalls, bluffs and beautiful sandstone outcrops. I’m utilizing 100 miles of the most difficult sections of this segment. I grew up on this trail and it means a lot to me to bring such a rugged and beautiful experience to runners.
In 2023 I offered a 100k and 50 mile at the same time as the 100. The 100k will be at a different time of year now. The 50 mile will be the second, and more difficult, half of the 100 course. It will start at Indian Creek TH at 6am on Saturday. The cutoff is 16 hours.
To run the 100, it is highly recommended that you have completed at least a 50 mile race on trail with at least 5000 feet of vertical gain. Measurements taken by GPS and topographic mapping have put elevation gain between 20,000-22,000 feet. Runners will have 38 hours to complete the 100 mile run.
Runners must sign a waiver when registering. There is also an option to donate $100 to the Ozark Highlands Trail Association.
Questions contact: haremountain100@gmail.com

Part of the proceeds of the race will go to local animal shelters.

Newton County Mentality
2024-11-01 - 2024-11-03 | Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, HC 70, 261, Jasper, AR, 72641, United States
Imagine descending into one of the most beautiful canyons in Arkansas on a fall afternoon in early November, the leaves at peak foliage – passing windy ribbons of singletrack, imposing sandstone walls, vistas, and log cabins as you enter the iconic Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. This idyllic gem of the Ozarks will be your home for the next three days. You’ll camp, hang with your friends, ride your bike really really hard, dance your face off, eat great food, drink a few beers, and meander around the canyon chasing down wacky checkpoints in an effort to finish off what you started – a gravel stage farce* we like to call the Newton County Mentality.

Kids are welcome, however, all riders need to independently be able to ride 6 miles each way on gravel roads.
What kind of bike should I ride?
A bike that is capable of riding on gravel roads (Sugar Creek is our main road) and carrying your gear. A gravel bike will work best, but a mountain bike or hybrid with wide tires will also work. Please get in touch if you have specific questions about your bike.
What should I pack?
We like this packing list from Swift Industries for a bike overnighter. Remember, you will be carrying everything you pack, so sometimes less is more!
I really want to go, but can’t carry anything on my bike. Help!
No need to worry! We’ll have a support vehicle that can carry your gear.

Arkansas NICA Race 4 - Champions Weekend
2024-10-26 - 2024-10-27 | Centennial Park, S Centennial Park Ln, Fayetteville, AR, 72704, United States
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.

HOWL-O-WEEN Hairy and Scary Fest Zombie Run 2.5k / 5k
2024-10-20 15:00 - 17:00 | McClain Hall, 1600 S College St, Mountain Home, 72653, United States
Prepare yourself to run (or walk) for your lives! This will be a charity 5k with all proceeds going to Lucky Dawg Rescue Inc. This will be taking place on Sunday, October 20th. There will be vendors there starting at 1pm, a dog and dog/human duo costume contest at 2pm, and the run will start at 3pm. There will even be a few zombies! Zombies, you say? Oh yes, ZOMBIES! Unfortunately, for the safety of racers and dogs, we will not allow dogs in the race event. If you decide to bring your animal, they must be leashed at all times!
BASIC SURVIVAL
Before the race, you will be given flags just like the overly intimidating game of flag football. These flags represent your health.
The zombies want to take your flags and maybe eat your brains.
If you lose all your health flags, you will be considered infected!
If you finish with a flag, you will be awarded with the survivor prize.
*NOTE* If you form and run with a TEAM, and if any member of that team survives with a flag, the ENTIRE team receives the “Survivor” medal! The perfect reason to recruit your friends to be Zombie-fodder! Teams must consist of no more/less than 4 members.
WHAT YOU’RE UP AGAINST
There will be zombies. Their job is to chase you and eat you — but mainly go after your health, in the form of your flag belt. Avoid the zombies to keep your health flags.
Use speed, strategy and your intact brains to make it to the FINISH LINE “alive” with at least ONE FLAG INTACT. If you finish with zero health flags, this means the zombies have successfully transformed you into the “undead”. There will be a start line, and a finish line, and the opportunity to avoid Zombies in between.

Bugle Bolt Paige Slape Memorial 5k
***Register by October 4 for tshirt***
Come run this beautiful fast course with lest than 70 feet of elevation change through the entire course. This will be a great time to run and see the fall colors at their peak. This is also the season for hearing the elk bugle throughout Ponca and the Boxley Valley. After the race you could hike the Lost Valley Trail, Hawksbill Craig, The Buffalo River Trail or go see triple falls within just a few minutes drive. Directions to the nearest trails will be in everyone’s grab bags to make this a full family fun day.
Proceeds from the race will be supporting the Paige Slape Memorial Scholarship Fund. The fund, established in 2008, honors the memory of Alyssa Paige Slape. She was extremely active in all functions at Jasper High School, Newton County, Arkansas, an outstanding student deeply loved and respected by students, faculty, and anyone who had been fortunate enough to know her.
Her family and friends felt the best way to honor and remember Paige would be the creation of a fund to help the type of student and individual that she so personified.
Each year, three students from the area will be given a scholarship in whatever amount the fund can afford to provide. This fund is a nonprofit organization and all members volunteer their services with compensation.
