SUMMARY:Hiking Lost Valley and Balanced Rock
DESCRIPTION:Distance\n\n\n\n4 miles\n\n\nElevation Difference\n\n\n\n700 feet including both destinations. The ascent is primarily ascending to the cave entrance in Lost Valley\, and the last 100 yards at Balanced Rock.\n\n\nRating\n\n\n\nMostly easy. Intermediate for cave exploration at Lost Valley\, which is optional.\n\n\nFeatures\n\n\n\nCreekside hike in both places. Waterfall at large bluff shelter in Lost Valley. Steps uphill leading to Eden Cave with 100 foot crawl to view 30 foot waterfall inside the cave. Second portion of hike a few miles away at Leatherwood Creek (tributary to Buffalo River at Ponca Low Water Bridge). One shallow water crossing\, often able to “rock hop.” Then 200 foot ascent to unique rock at top of a waterfall. Both hikes are “out-and-back.” If at any point\, return to vehicle is desired\, that is perfectly acceptable.\n\n\nLeader(s)\n\n\n\nEric Fraser\n\n\nCarpooling?\n\n\n\nYes\, depending on number of participants.\n\n\nStarting location of outing\n\n\n\nLeave Morgan McDonald’s at 8 AM. Suggest arrival 20 minutes earlier.\n\n\nDriving distance to starting location\n\n\n\n140 miles to either trailhead. Only 2 miles between the two trailheads. Expect to be gone about 10 hours.\n\n\nWhat to bring\n\n\n\nSturdy trail shoes or boots\, water\, lunch and trail snacks. (It is possible that a lunch venue is open in Ponca\, but Jasper is the closest I am sure food is available\, and is 15 mountain miles\, or 25 minutes away.) Wear clothing appropriate for the weather\, and bring a headlamp if you’d like to explore Eden Cave.\n\n\nToilets on site?\n\n\n\nRestrooms are available at both trailheads.

SUMMARY:Rule of Three
DESCRIPTION:Come Early and Stay Late! \nBeginning as early as Tuesday May 12th\, we’ll have shake out rides\, community get togethers\, and other great ways to experience OZ – endless trails\, bike cafes\, museums\, swimming holes\, and hangouts. \nSponsor a Rider \nDonate to the RO3 Peace and Love Fund and sponsor another rider’s registration cost.  If you want it to cover someone in particular\, email us their name and we’ll refund their registration.  All names receiving this fund will be kept confidential. Reach out to us if you are in need of financial assistance.  Email: lauren@ruleofthree.bike \nCamping \nCamping will be located on-site at the event location.  This is a gorgeous open field with plenty of space to pitch a tent but not a camper van or RV.  If you’re traveling by camper van\, there is a gravel lot near the camping that is first come first serve.  If you’re traveling by RV please park at a different location and ride your bike to the race.  There will be no RV parking anywhere on the road or field. The closest RV campground is at Blowing Springs Park in Bella Vista. \nThere will be port-o-potties and a dumpster for garbage but no potable water.  Please come prepared with enough water for the entire weekend. \nRefunds\, Transfers\, Deferrals \nNo cancellations or deferrals but you can transfer to another person or change your category by midnight of MAY 12th\, 2026.  You can change your category or transfer your registration to another rider by following these BikeReg directions:   \nHow to Transfer your Registration to Someone Else \nHow To Change The Category You Registered For \nHow to Remove yourself from a Waitlist \nRO3 Merch \nWe make a generous donation to Arkansas NICA from the sale of every single piece of merch\, so you can wear your gear knowing you helped get MORE KIDS ON BIKES! \n  \nPLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE: \n1.  Time cutoff \n\nRule of Three is not your average 115 mile bike ride.  Think road race\, meets gravel\, meets MTB\, meets adventure race all rolled into one!  Our course takes significantly longer to complete than an average 115 mile gravel event. If you’ve never done this race before and you’re not sure if you can complete a 115 mile RO3 route in less than 12 hours\, we strongly suggest that you choose the 60 mile option-it’s still a beast!\nFor the 115 miler\, we will have a time “check out” on course that you must pass by a certain time.  If you haven’t made the time cutoff you’ll need to call for someone for a ride or wait for our Broomwagon\, 37 North Expeditions\, to come pick you up.\nWe want you to stand up to the challenge but we must keep the safety of all our riders top priority.  We aim to have the last riders finish by 8pm.\n\n2.  Teams \n115 and 60 mile 3 person teams take off (time trial style) in 1 minute increments. The team rides the route together\, stopping at checkpoints to gather their “proof” and they must finish together. \n3.  Age Limit \nIf a rider U14 (13 years and younger) wants to ride at The Rule of Three\, the rider will need to register under the U14 + Adult category and ride together with that adult during Rule of Three.  The Rule of Three routes incorporate road\, gravel and singletrack.  Riders will need to ride alongside cars and have intermediate to advanced experience in all disciplines and be well versed with the rules of the road. \n4.  Inclement Weather Policy \nRule of Three will happen if the “creek don’t rise” and if it does we’ll route around it!  Northwest Arkansas weather can be unpredictable to say the least.  Come prepared for freezing and hot temps.  Blue skies and dark skies.  Dry and wet conditions.  Buckle up…no matter what\, it’ll be a fun ride! \n5.  Routes \nThe Rule of Three routes are new every year and we try to hold off on route revelations until right before the event….the element of surprise is a nice touch. \n6.  Volunteer at Rule of Three \nwww.bikereg.com/volunteer-at-rule-of-three \nFor up to date information head to our Instagram page and our website.

SUMMARY:Catsmacker Trail run
DESCRIPTION:Participation is limited\, and subject to filling up. If you register and later change your mind\, please contact Katie Helms. so that we can free up your spot for somebody else. Also note that any race donations are non-refundable. In other words\, if you sign up and donate\, you might as well show up! \nAURA “Fun Run” (no UTS points)\nDistance: 20-ish miles for the Catsmacker\, 12-ish miles for the Kitty Run option\nStart/Finish Area: the start is at the Lake Sylvia Day Use area (where you would go if you went swimming in the lake). NOT at Camp Ouachita (where the Full Moon and Traveller start).\nStart is at 7:00am\, sign-in will be available (hopefully) by 6:00am.\nCost: This is a donation-based run. That said\, we need to cover costs for Forest Service permitting\, aid station supplies\, finish line cookout\, and other race equipment/transportation/logistics. Please make sure that we can cover those costs and continue offering low-cost events. You can make an online payment here\, or a cash/check donation on race day. Donations are non-refundable\, and any proceeds will be donated to AURA. (A suggested donation to cover costs is $20. Thank you!) \nDriving & Parking Directions: You should be able to find Williams Junction\, AR on most maps; it is approximately 30 miles west of Little Rock on Hwy 10\, or 20 miles south of Morrilton on Hwy 9.  To get to the race site from Williams Junction\, go north on Hwy 10/9 for 1.5 miles\, then take Hwy 324 west and follow for three and a half miles. The Lake Sylvia day use area will be on your left about 1/2mile after Camp Ouachita. If the road turns to gravel you went half mile too far. \nGoogle driving directions to start \nParking is limited in the Lake Sylvia Day Use Area. Once this area is full\, parking will overflow along Highway 324. Please carpool if possible! Parking along Hwy 324 is limited to the west side only (on the right as you are driving in from Hwy 9/10). If you don’t see any cars parked on the east side of Hwy 324\, there is a reason! There will be signs and volunteers to assist you with where you can and can’t park. Make sure your car is all the way to the right of the white line (completely out of the traffic lane) when you park. \nCourse Description: \n\nThe course will utilize Forest Service roads and a portion of the Ouachita Trail. There will be a combination of pavement (just a little!)\, gravel\, and single/double track trail (it’s poison ivy season!).\nCourse marking will consist of signs\, colored ribbon flagging\, and flour arrows drawn on the ground. In general\, course marking is focused on marking turns and intersections. Intermediate “confidence” markings in the absence of turns or intersections will be relatively rare. We recommend that participants print off maps if they are unsure of the course or unfamiliar with the area.\nTurn-by-turn directions:\n\nFSR 152 (from start)\, turning right on FSR 132\nFSR 132 staying straight on FSR 94 (follow sign to Flatside Pinnacle)\nFSR 94 turning right onto Ouachita Trail\nOuachita Trail turn right onto FSR 805\nFSR 805 turning right onto Hwy 324\nHwy 324 to finish at Lake Sylvia day use area\nThe Kitty Run course is the same as above with one deviation that is seen on the map. Approximately 3.5 miles into the course\, the Kitty Run incorporates the Ouachita Trail for 1.5 miles and then turns back right onto FSR 805.\n\n\nCourse Map Google Course Map\n\nArkansas Ultra Trail Series: This is a no-UTS-points fun run that is a season-closer and celebration of the end of an amazing year of Arkansas ultrarunning. The 2022-2023 UTS awards ceremony will be held after the run\, with a cookout-style lunch. Celebrate with us! \nRunner Safety and Other Details: \n\nThere will be a waiver to sign on the morning of the run.\nThere will be at least 3 aid stations for the Catsmacker\, and 2 aid stations for the Kitty Run.\nPlease carry a water bottle and any snacks you want. Food choices at the aid stations will be basic.\nThe park allows dogs on a leash. Please don’t assume that your dog is the exception that doesn’t need a leash.\nIt’s always a good idea to carry a cell phone. The service is spotty\, but the higher hills often have signal available. If you are unfamiliar with the area\, run with a buddy and study the course map.\nCut-off is 6 hours. For the full Catsmacker\, that is a 16:30ish pace. There will be one early start option at 6:00am if (and only if) you anticipate needing more time to finish. It is not a “for your convenience if you don’t feel like waiting for the 7:00am start” option. If you miss the 6:00am early start\, then you will have to catch the 7:00am start.\nFor more information\, contact the race director Katie Helms.

SUMMARY:Trail of Tears Remembrance Ride
DESCRIPTION:We remember the Trail of Tears to acknowledge the humanity of those who suffered and the grave injustice committed against sovereign peoples. This remembrance ride is not about assigning collective modern-day guilt\, but about collective modern-day responsibility. History\, unexamined\, repeats its patterns of dehumanization and marginalization.\nRemembrance facilitates essential change and discussion. It forces us to examine how systemic power can be used to silence\, displace\, and erase entire cultures. By confronting this legacy\, we open dialogues about ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous communities today. I challenge every rider to be a beacon of hope and change that inspires society. \nAll entry fees will be donated to the Cherokee Nation Foundation. \nThe Remembrance Ride serves as a respectful complement to the Remember the Removal Ride by focusing on public awareness and broader participation while honoring the latter’s status as a foundational youth leadership program. We also recognize that the Remember the Removal Ride is a much more challenging journey than this event. \nThe Route retraces the Trail of Tears from Pea Ridge\, AR to Tahlequah\, OK. This is a one-way route. If you choose to not complete the out and back route then you are responsible for your own transportation. \nThis is a self-supported ride – riders are responsible for their own food\, water\, navigation\, and repairs. The event will be held on roads that are open to vehicular traffic. Bright colors and bike lights are recommended to improve safety and visibility. \nThe start location = Pea Ridge Bike Camp 10542 Blue Jay Rd\, Pea Ridge\, AR 72751. The Grand Depart will be at 8 AM on June 20th 2026. Participants are encouraged to camp overnight at the Pea Ridge Bike Camp if they would like to.  The cost is $30 and  reservations can be made through Hipcamp.com using the UR code. Cash payments will be accepted on-site. Outdoor showers and a bike wash station are available for those opting to camp. There will be courtesy parking available for all participants throughout the weekend at no cost. https://www.hipcamp.com/en-US/land/arkansas-pea-ridge-bike-camp-xryhkd7n?adults=1&children=0&srid=b516f1c2-043f-4057-869f-bddba26de178 \nPlease see the following routes: \n\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/53659411?privacy_code=5L6GDjQAcRKNRfmTmCfFzDFkCsNHqUTo\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/53781133?privacy_code=NJcJ8zCVQq5Ht8pcdZwKeQdCHeqoMzAW\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/53776809\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/54162737\n\nPhat Tire Bike Shop is sponsoring the event: Phat Tire will provide a support van to transport camping gear to the overnight location for semi-supported participants. The van will have limited capacity and is intended to help reduce carried weight for riders. It will NOT function as an official SAG vehicle or follow the slowest rider along the route. Phat Tire staff will also be available at camp locations to provide basic technical support as needed. \nThe main camping areas that the group and the Phat Tire Crew will be staying at is Eagle Bluff Resort = https://www.eaglebluffresort.com/ \n**Once registered I highly recommend reserving a campsite along the Illinois River as these sites are extremely popular during kayaking/rafting season and will book quickly. Please refer to the RideWithGPS links to research camping websites and book online. \nRoute surface description: The section from Pea Ridge to Fayetteville incorporates gravel and paved Greenway. Fayetteville to Tahlequah incorporates singletrack\, chunky gravel roads\, and low-traffic paved roads. If completing the entire route a tire width of 45 mm+ is recommended.
