Our WHY

Fun.Family.Fitness
Bodies is built on the foundation of family, health, and unity. We may be small but strive to make a mighty impact on communities across the Midwest. We work hard to grow each year and want you to grow with us! Our family-friendly events are designed to keep our communities healthy, active, and united year-round. You, our customer, are the most important piece of Bodies. Without you, we wouldn’t be who we are today. Our mission to “Make a healthy impact in our communities” has allowed us to partner with amazing sponsors that continue to grow year after year.

What to Expect

Awesome SWAG, ridiculously cool finisher medal, awards, vendors (as we said before, we are growing and always looking to add more vendors please email support@bodiesrc.com to inquire about becoming a Bodies partner!), and AFTER PARTY!

Village Creek 10K/25K Trail Run
2024-01-27 08:30 - 17:00 | Village Creek State Park, 201 County Road 754, Wynne, AR, 72396, United States
Welcome to year 11!
Village Creek the Legend! Lace ‘em up tight! Like we always say, “Mud, Sweat, and Tears!” That’s what you will find here at Village Creek State Park. The 31st and 2nd largest in Arkansas. Located just 6 miles south of Wynne, Village Creek State Park encompasses nearly 7,000 acres. We have an amazing multi-use trail system that is virtually untouched by the running community most of the year. Equestrian, Mountain Bike, and Hiking Trails combine to form a little over 26 miles of manicured sweetness atop the geologic anomaly know as Crowley’s Ridge.
Our race features a multitude of ups and downs, both physically and emotionally! Your day will consist of creeks, mud, leaves, sticks, steep ridgelines, and our infamous rolling pipeline. All the while a tub of buttercream icing and warm homemade cinnamon rolls wait for you at the finish.
The start/finish sits at the edge of our lower campground and boasts some of the most pristine bath houses of any state park! You can camp so close to the start line that all ya gotta do is roll over toot, tinkle, brush, and run! If cabins are more your thing, no fear! Village Creek has a number of 5 star cabins available just up the hill towards Lake Dunn.
The 25k has a 6 hour time limit. You have approximately 3hr and 15min to make it to our bib check at the 25k turn around. If you have not checked out of the turn around by the 3:15 mark chances are you aren’t gonna get a cinnamon roll….I kid, I kid! You just won’t get a hot one!
The 25K is an out and back route starting at the bicycle entrance to the following markers 13,14,15,16,17,18, north past 19 towards 20 where you will reach the turnaround. Aid stations will be at approximate half way points for both races. This is a cup free race! Bring your own bottles! The 10k is an out and back, also will follow markers 13,14,15,16, turnaround go back to finish.

It’s been said that the more you know, the less you need. To this end, we invite you to join us around the fire at the first Vinterläger.
Our “winter camp” is a three-day, two-night immersive wilderness experience: a setting to learn new skills, and sharpen old ones. As a small group, we’ll eat food professionally prepared over the fire, and ground ourselves in the winter landscape of the Ozark Mountains. We’ll take a deep dive into the fundamentals of wilderness self-sufficiency. We will get our hands dirty honing knife, saw, and axe techniques, build strong shelters, kindle fire from friction, and prepare food for the hearth. We’ll trade ideas, laugh a lot, and work with the land around us in a reciprocal manner. Spots are limited, so don’t delay to sign up.
What’s included:

3 days of wilderness skills training with different instructors: Pack Rat Bushcraft, Teal Bulthuis, and Matt & Pam Furches, senior instructors from Utah’s Boulder Outdoor Survival School.
Unique private walk-in camping area
3 high quality, professionally cooked meals from Chef Matt Cooper (1 breakfast, 2 dinners)
Limited Edition event swag
