This charity run is a chance to enjoy a beautiful morning while making a tangible difference in the lives of animals in need. All proceeds from the event will go directly to Furry Tails Rescue, a local no-kill, foster-based dog rescue dedicated to saving abandoned and stray dogs.
The run will take place at 8am. in Merritt Park in Dardanelle, AR. We’ll have awards for the overall male and female runners and walkers.
Every step you take and every dollar you donate helps Furry Tails Rescue continue its vital work. Since its founding in 2014, this 100% volunteer-run organization has rescued and rehomed nearly 6,000 dogs. As a foster-based rescue, all dogs receive personalized care in loving homes, not kennels. The money raised from this event will help cover essential veterinary costs—from basic spay/neuter surgeries to more extensive treatments for heartworm and injuries. While the adoption fees only cover a fraction of these costs, your support helps bridge the financial gap and ensures that every dog gets a second chance at a happy, healthy life.
We will be collecting donations at the event for the following items, for every item you donate you will get an entry into our raffle for some of our wonderful prizes.
Dry and canned dog food (no Gravy Train, please)
Puppy pads
Clorox wipes
10×10 or larger tarps

Paint Chaffee Pink 2025: A Walk for Hope, Healing, and Community
Each October, our community comes together for a powerful reason—to stand united in the fight against breast cancer. The Paint Chaffee Pink Walk is more than just a morning of movement; it’s a tribute to strength, a celebration of survivorship, and a promise that no one faces cancer alone.
Held at the beautiful Celebration Garden and Wellness Park in Barling, this annual walk brings together survivors, families, caregivers, and advocates from across the region. It is a day filled with love, remembrance, and support—a visual reminder of the resilience found in every person affected by breast cancer.
The walk also plays a vital role in helping provide life-changing support services through the Donald W. Reynolds Cancer Support House. Proceeds help fund free programs like educational resources, prevention screenings, emotional support, and patient navigation—offered to anyone facing a cancer diagnosis in our area.
Paint Chaffee Pink is a chance to raise awareness, to honor those we’ve lost, to uplift those still in the fight, and to celebrate those who’ve come through it with hope. Whether walking in memory, in support, or in survivorship, every step taken echoes with compassion and purpose.
On October 4, 2025, we invite you to walk with us—to show your support, to share your story, and to help us continue painting our community pink with hope.

RAT 1000 Mile Gravel Stage Race, RAT 1000 Self Supported Group Departure for ITT, RAT 1000 mile gravel stage party, Mini RAT & Tiny RAT. Plan to join us because these will be memories that last forever.
Please note that the expectation is for all riders to adhere to the Traffic Codes for each state that they ride in at all times. Failure to operate bicycles safely and properly can lead to disqualification. Littering can lead to disqualification. Trespassing can lead to disqualification and might also get you shot. Don’t do any of these things. More details soon!
Planned RAT Stage Race/Party Distances (subject to modification). This is for the folks who want to travel as a group and gather together at the same overnight location each night.
Stage 1 Saturday 6am Start from Texarkana
140 miles, 2852ft, ends in Paris
Stage 2 Sunday Start TBD
127 miles, 3700ft, ends in Denison
Stage 3 Monday Start TBD
141 miles, 4782ft, ends in Henrietta
Stage 4 Tuesday Start TBD
125 miles, 2330ft, ends in Vernon
Stage 5 Wednesday Start TBD
104 miles, 2417ft, ends in Childress

Stage 7 Friday Start TBD

Self Supported ITT is essentially “Tour Divide” rules. Riders are only allowed to utilize assistance available to the general public under normal business and agency operating conditions. The clock starts as soon as the rider starts and doesn’t end until the rider finishes. Live tracking is required as well as publicly available tracking logs. Approved assistance exceptions are typically allowed during Group Depart week from approved “Trail Angels”.
Mini RAT is for anyone who wants to follow the RAT route with no expectation of completing the full route. Ride as many (or as few) as fits into your schedule. We have a single weekend route for people who want to pedal back to DFW: Mini RAT Day 1 140 Miles Texarkana to Paris
Mini RAT Day 2 110 miles Paris to Rowlett Train Station.
The Tiny RAT is a 150 mile lollipop from Farmersville to Paris and back which primarily utilizes the NETT. Saturday night overnight in Paris is included which offers the opportunity to socialize with the RAT riders as they come into Paris. Please note, this is not an “easy” ride. 75 miles each day is likely to feel more like 100 on these sections of the NETT. Self navigation capability is EXTREMELY important. We will provide the route but it will not be verified before hand. It is likely that on the fly adjustments to the route may be needed, particularly in the case of inclement weather.

We’re back for Year 2! Join us for the 2nd Annual 5K Walk/Run for Breast Cancer Awareness, hosted by Dr. Kim Leverett — breast cancer survivor and owner of A Kick Above: A Personal Training Studio.
Kim spent 10 years as a full-time pharmacist before following her passion for fitness and wellness. She transitioned into personal training to help others move beyond managing symptoms to truly living well. In 2013, after a routine mammogram, Kim was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her treatment included six rounds of chemotherapy and 35 rounds of radiation. Remarkably, throughout her treatment, she continued to train clients and maintain her own workouts — often without anyone knowing what she was facing. Kim credits her faith in Christ, her fitness foundation, and the support of her clients for carrying her through.
Now cancer-free since 2014, Kim is on a mission to empower others to prioritize their health and wellness. This annual event is her way of giving back, spreading awareness, and honoring all those impacted by breast cancer. Net proceeds will benefit the Arkansas Cancer Coalition. Let’s continue to stride together for a cure!

2025 Dogtown Beer Down - Beer Mile
2025-10-11 12:00 - 14:00 | Argenta Plaza, 510 N Main St,, North Little Rock, 72114, United States
Join us Saturday, October 11th, for the Fifth Annual Argenta Beer Mile!
What is the Beer Mile?
***Drink 4 beers and run 4 laps on the designated course in style as quickly as you can.***
Each competitor drinks four cans of beer and runs four laps around a 1/4 mile course (start with chugging a beer, then run a lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap, then beer, then lap – finish).
Beer must be consumed before the lap begins within the transition area. The transition area is the zone at the start/finish line for a mile race.
The race begins with competitors lined up on the mile starting line, drinking the first beer in the transition zone described in the step above. This ensures competitors cover a complete mile. Competitors can walk/move in the transition area while drinking, but all beer must be consumed in the transition area before setting off to run a lap.
Competitors must drink canned beer that is no less than 355mL (12 Oz) in volume, which is the standard can/bottle size in the USA and some other countries. The Root Beer Mile substitutes canned root beer.
Be sure to be ready to run at the time you have selected! Packet Pickup starts at 11:00 AM. Your heat will start at the time you selected.
The race start is in the Argenta Plaza on Main Street, downtown North Little Rock.
There will be multiple heats, and prizes awarded for top male and female competitors, as well as for most dramatic finish!
Proceeds will benefit the Recycle Bikes for Kids. Learn more about the Recycle Bikes For Kids at https://www.recyclebikesforkids.org
More details coming soon!
Pre-race Packet Pickup at Flyway 10/10 starting at 4:30 PM until 7:00 PM.
