SUMMARY:Beast of Burden
DESCRIPTION: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! \nThe “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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nNote 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. \n*You can also choose to participate solo\, but remember\, no one asked you to do this. \nThe Party – Let’s be honest\, the whole thing is the party\, but since you asked. Dinner and breakfast provided. Trailside Coffee starting at 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 keeping participants feeling fresh and limber\, while Phat Tire will be keeping them bikes uh’ rollin’\,

SUMMARY:AgriCrit
DESCRIPTION:The AgriCrit p/b Bike Club NWA\nWelcome to the inaugural edition of the AgriCrit\, a one-of-a-kind gravel race around the enclosed and scenic roads of the Agriculture Park in the heart of Fayetteville\, Arkansas. This event will be hosted by Bike Club NWA\, a local Fayetteville cycling club and race team\, as part of the Ride Your Damn Bike Festival. \nA few notes to be aware of: \n\nIf you’d like to participate in multiple categories\, you will receive a $5.00 discount on each additional category you enter.\nAfter registering\, an online waiver form will be emailed to you. All participants must sign this waver prior to racing.\nThe Advanced Men and Women categories will have a minimum combined prize purse of $600 – if we can secure more funding prior to the event\, we may even have some cash primes or a higher prize purse. All other categories will receive awards for the top three men and women finishers in each category.\n\nAbout the Course\nNestled inside an eight-acre plot of land dedicated to agricultural research is a network of enclosed dirt and gravel roads\, and on September 20\, a portion of these roads will be transformed into a one-of-a-kind race course. The AgriCrit’s 1.6-mile clockwise loop features a fast and flowing downhill on the first half of the course\, a long uphill drag on the back half\, and a flat and technical start/finish stretch. With 49 feet of elevation per lap\, an open terrain exposed to the wind\, and a few skill-testing turns\, the course is anything but stale. \nHow to Get to the Venue:\n\nIn a Vehicle – Take Garland Ave. and turn onto Cassatt St. until you reach the venue. Vehicles will be directed to nearby parking lots north of the course. When leaving the venue\, you can only exit the same way you came in.\nOn Bike/By Foot – The venue can be easily and safely accessed from the Razorback Greenway. Turn onto N Morrill Ave. from the Greenway and keep going until you reach a gate on your right that opens into the Agri Park. (Please be mindful of a separate event that will be taking place along Morrill Ave. and the pavilion area until 2:00 PM.) After entering the gates\, take the first gravel road on your left (N Hillian Ave.) until you reach the venue.\n\nAfter-Party Details\nFollowing the conclusion of the final race (around 7:00 PM)\, everyone is invited to join us for a post-race celebration at Fossil Cove\, a local Fayetteville brewery about a stone’s throw from the Agri Park. A delicious pizza food truck\, Wicked Wood Fired Pizza\, is also located at the Cove and stays open until 9:00 PM on Saturdays. Fossil Cove also has plenty of non-alcoholic beverages as well. If you ride to the race\, we will be leading a group ride to Fossil Cove when the racing concludes. Sunset begins around 7:00 PM\, so lights are encouraged. \nAbout the Ride Your Damn Bike Festival\nThe AgriCrit is part of the Ride Your Damn Bike Festival\, a multi-day celebration of cycling\, community\, and craft based in downtown Fayetteville\, Arkansas. The festival includes: \n\nMaker’s Market & Expo – Featuring local frame-builders\, artisans\, gear-makers\, and food vendors.\nWorkshops – Covering bikepacking \, trail advocacy\, mechanics\, and more.\nCommunity Overnighter – A no-drop campout to reconnect with the land and fellow riders.\nLocal Group Rides & Shakedowns – From mellow cruises to mini-missions\nUltra Race – Multiple discipline options for self-supported adventure.\nDirt Crits – Glorious\, rowdy racing at the Agri Park.\n\nAbout Bike Club NWA\nBike Club was founded in an effort to reinvigorate the Fayetteville\, Arkansas road cycling scene following the pandemic and to reunite a fragmented Northwest Arkansas cycling community. Our initial approach was simple: extend an open invitation to anyone who would join us for a Sunday pilgrimage through the Ozarks\, and then share our experiences on social media to reach cyclists outside of our immediate network. Since then\, Bike Club has grown to become something much bigger than we expected\, and in 2025 we decided to formalize the competitive side of the club with the founding of the Bike Club Bandits\, a team of friends who race together across Arkansas and sometimes beyond. \nAs Bike Club continues to grow\, however\, our mission remains the same: to bring people together through cycling.

SUMMARY:Fayetteville Ultra Circuit
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Fayetteville Ultra Circuit (FUC) – a gritty\, soulful\, and rugged bikepacking race weaving its way through the heart of Northwest Arkansas and the ancient ridgelines of the Arkansas Ozarks. Designed for the self-reliant\, the curious\, and the trail-hungry\, this race is not just about speed – it’s about connecting forgotten singletrack\, pushing your limits\, and discovering the deep roots of trail riding in the South. \nThe FUC is more than a race – it’s part of the Ride Your Damn Bike Festival\, a multi-day celebration of cycling\, community\, and craft based in downtown Fayetteville\, Arkansas. The festival includes: \n\nMaker’s Market & Expo – Featuring local frame-builders\, artisans\, gear-makers\, and food vendors.\nWorkshops – Covering bikepacking\, trail advocacy\, mechanics\, and more.\nCommunity Overnighter – A no-drop campout to reconnect with the land and fellow riders.\nLocal Group Rides & Shakedowns – From mellow cruises to mini-missions.\nUltra Race – Multiple distance options for self-supported adventure.\nDirt Crits – Glorious\, rowdy racing at the Agri Park.\n\nWhether you’re racing or just rolling by\, the festival creates a welcoming hub for the bike-curious\, seasoned dirtbags\, and everyone in between. \nA portion of entry fee proceeds goes to Bikepacking Roots\, a nonprofit organization with a mission that supports and advances bikepacking\, the growth of a diverse bikepacking community\, and access to and the conservation of the landscapes and public lands through which we ride. \nhttps://bikepackingroots.org/ \nThe Route:\nThe FUC stitches together a hand-picked patchwork of legendary old-school singletrack – some beloved\, some all but forgotten – linked by an unpredictable mix of surfaces. Riders can expect: \n\nRaw\, technical singletrack that’s been etched into Arkansas dirt for decades.\nUnmaintained dirt roads full of chunky surprises.\nFlowing gravel\, from loose and fast to deeply washboarded.\nQuiet paved backroads that offer short respites and stunning views.\n\nThis is a self-supported race – riders are responsible for their own food\, water\, navigation\, and repairs. The route will challenge your endurance\, bike handling\, and route-finding skills. \nExpect solitude. Expect joy. Expect to curse that one trail climb and then tell everyone it was your favorite part. \nFUC 400 – The Full Circuit\n400+ Miles | Max Difficulty | Full Send \nThis is the main event – the full embodiment of the Fayetteville Ultra Circuit and a proper test of your endurance\, preparation\, and resilience. The FUC 400 dives deep into the wildest corners of the Ozarks\, tying together nearly every notable trail system in Northwest Arkansas and venturing east into rugged\, remote terrain where resupplies are few\, and the riding is relentlessly steep and unforgiving. \nOnce you leave Fayetteville\, you’ll traverse a network of legendary and lesser-known singletrack systems\, linked together by an ever-changing surface mix: gravel\, chunky backroads\, forgotten forest roads\, and stretches of quiet pavement. The terrain becomes more intense as you reach Newton and Madison Counties\, where steep grades\, eroded surfaces\, and massive elevation swings will test your limits. \nTrail Systems Included: \n\nKessler Mountain\nLake Wedington\nLincoln Lake\nDevil’s Den\nLake Fort Smith\nBuffalo Headwaters\nHorseshoe Canyon\nBOC Ponca Downhill\nMount Sequoyah\n\nThis route is a self-supported gauntlet\, traversing Arkansas’s most legendary and remote riding zones. Expect long stretches with no services\, limited cell coverage\, and the kind of solitude that makes you question your decisions – and then fall in love with them. \nNot for the unprepared. This is the FUC in its most unrelenting form. \nFUC 200 – The Punchy Middle Child\n~200 Miles | High Difficulty | No Easy Way Out \nDon’t let the smaller number fool you – the FUC 200 is a beast. This route mirrors the FUC 400 mile-for-mile until around mile 155\, hitting nearly every major trail system in the first two-thirds of the long course. You’ll taste the same chunky Ozark roads\, climb the same steep grades\, and rip through the same historic singletrack – but at Lake Fort Smith\, the route diverges and begins a return arc toward Fayetteville. \nThe ride back isn’t a coast – expect a mix of challenging gravel and paved climbs\, meandering through the lesser-known corridors south of Fayetteville. And just when you think you’re in the clear\, the route links back up with the 400-mile course for a final push through the Mount Sequoyah trails\, ensuring this ride ends as tough as it started. \nTrail Systems Included: \n\nKessler Mountain\nLake Wedington\nLincoln Lake\nDevil’s Den\nLake Fort Smith\nMount Sequoyah\n\nWhat’s not included: Buffalo Headwaters\, Horseshoe Canyon\, and the BOC Ponca Downhill – but you’ll hardly miss them\, given the challenge level of what’s already packed in. \nThis is the perfect choice for strong riders who want a true bikepacking challenge but prefer a more contained route with more reliable resupply options and less remote exposure. \nFUC 100 – The Fast and Dirty\n~100 Miles | Moderate Difficulty | Big Day Out \nThe FUC 100 is the gateway to the Ultra Circuit – a still-tough but more accessible option that delivers a big day of backcountry riding\, ideal for riders short on time or looking for a gravel-bike friendly adventure with fewer technical demands. \nThe route borrows much of its DNA from the 200-mile course\, sticking to scenic backroads\, rolling gravel\, and punchy climbs. It avoids the most remote and rugged trail systems\, skips Lake Fort Smith\, and bypasses nearly all of the technical singletrack\, making it more approachable for those running lighter rigs or hoping to finish in one day. \nWhat to expect: \n\nSteady gravel climbs and fast descents\nSmooth backroads with Ozark charm\nMinimal hike-a-bike\nBeautiful views and tight-knit community vibes\n\nThis is a great route for experienced gravel riders dipping their toes into bikepacking\, or anyone looking to test their legs and gear on a serious but achievable adventure. \nAll Routes Are:\n\nSelf-Supported – You are responsible for all logistics.\nGPS-Navigated – No markings\, no shortcuts.\nUnrelentingly Beautiful – And sometimes just plain unrelenting.\n\nChoose your adventure – but remember: no version of the FUC is easy. Only one question remains: How much FUC can you handle? \nRecommended Bike Setup:\nDue to the wide variety of riding surfaces on the Fayetteville Ultra Circuit – including smooth pavement\, chunky gravel\, unmaintained roads\, and technical singletrack – we strongly recommend a mountain bike with at least 2.2” tires for most participants\, especially those tackling the 200 or 400 mile routes. A hardtail MTB or rigid setup will offer the best balance of efficiency and capability. \nFor riders choosing the 100 mile option\, a gravel bike with 40mm tires can get the job done\, but be prepared for a few sections that may require dismounting and hike-a-bike. A more forgiving 50mm tire is highly recommended for added comfort and control on rougher segments. Regardless of your setup\, durable tires with good sidewall protection and a reliable tubeless system are key. \nOther Notes:\nCheck In:\nParticipants will check in and receive their pre race bag in downtown Fayetteville during the Ride Your Damn Bike Festival expo on Friday 9/19/2025. Specific location will be provided soon. \nStart Time:\nAll three distance options will start at 8am on Saturday 9/20/2025. \nTracking Fee:\nParticipants will be responsible for an additional tracking fee charged by Trackleaders. All riders will need to either provide their own satellite tracking device or rent one. Tracker rental fee – $85. Tracking fee/own device – $25. More details will be provided via participant emails. \nLinks to Routes:\nFUC 400 – The Full Circuit \nFUC 200 – The Punchy Middle Child \nFUC 100 – The Fast and Dirty

SUMMARY:RYDB Fest - Community Overnighter
DESCRIPTION:The Ride Your Damn Bike Festival invites you to ride your damn bike\, any damn way you want.  We’ve got a weekend full of fun and diverse options for you to choose from.  For my part\, Bikes or Death will be leading a beginner friendly\, lightly supported\, no drop\, community overnighter. \nWe’ll be riding the Bikepacking Roots’ Devils Den Loop (short & long) which is part of their Fayetteville Bikepacking Route Network with an overnight community camp + optional evening activities at Devil’s Den State Park. \nDevil’s Den State Park is a scenic gem nestled in the steep terrain of the western Boston Mountains. This is the most demanding of the three “overnight” route options in the Fayetteville bikepacking route network – the terrain becomes more rugged southwest of town in the high Ozark’s. The route is a mix of maintained gravel roads and pavement\, with three 600- to 1\,000-foot climbs with expansive vistas and numerous resupply options along the way. We’ve reserved the group camp site at Devil’s Den which can accommodate 75 people.  Once at camp riders will have a couple (optional) activities to choose from.  Either a hike up to Yellow Rock (rated the #5 hiking trail in all of Arkansas) or a Singletrack ride with a stop at Yellow Rock to meet up with the Hikers.  We’ll provide some snacks and beverages for all to enjoy while we watch the sunset and revel in our decisions to get outside\, ride our damn bikes\, and make new friends.  Riders will be responsible for their own dinner and breakfast\, but the State Park does have a cafe that is open from 9am – 7pm. \nThis is a beginner friendly focused ride\, but everyone is welcome to come ride with us at a chill pace.  We will have ride leaders and sweepers\, mechanics on the ride to help with any mechanicals\, and a sag vehicle that can assist with carrying gear and/or you and your bike to camp if needed.  We also have a Carry My Damn Shit option for riders who don’t want to be lugged down by the additional weight.  Moral of the story\, you wanna ride your damn bike\, but you’re not sure if this route is obtainable for you\, we invite you to push your limits with the assurance that we got your back and one way or another we’re gonna get you and your shit to camp! \n\nRoutes \n\nDay 1 \n\nDevil’s Den Loop (short)\n\n43 miles\n2\,900’ elevation gain\n\n\nDevil’s Den Loop (long)\n\n53 miles\n3\,700’ elevation gain\n\n\n\nDay 2 \n\nDevil’s Den: Return to Fayetteville\n\n30 miles\n2\,100’ elevation gain\n\n\n\nOvernighter Itinerary \n\nDay 1 – Sept. 20th \n\n8am: Coffee & cheer on the racers as they embark on the Fayetteville Ultra Circuit\n9am: Community Overnighter Grand Depart\nRide 53 miles (long) or 43 miles (short)\nWe have a group campsite reserved for all participants\nOnce at camp we have a couple of optional activities for you to participate in\n\nYellow Rock Hike – 4 mile round trip hike up to Yellow Rock\nYellow Rock Singletrack Ride – a 13 mile singletrack ride with a stop at Yellow Rock to join the hikers\n\nAt Yellow Rock we’ll provide some snacks and beverages for you to enjoy while we watch the sunset.  Bring Lights for the hike/ride back to camp\n\n\n\n\nParticipants are responsible for their own dinner.  There is a diner at the state park that is open from 9am – 7pm\n10pm: Quiet Time\n\nDay 2 – Sept 21st \n\n8am wake up call\n\nBreak down camp\nParticipants are responsible for their own breakfast.  The State Park Cafe opens at 9am.\n\n\n10am: Roll out – ride 30 miles back to Fayetteville\n\nAbout the Route \n\nThe Devil’s Den Loop departs downtown Fayetteville and meanders southwest out of town on recreation paths\, past Kessler Mountain Park\, and then follows ~6 miles of paved roads before turning toward Prairie Grove on gravel. At mile 20\, riders hit a 600-foot gravel climb\, the first of the route’s three longer climbs\, and ascend to a ridgeline with long views into the Boston Mount to the south and toward where Devil’s Den State Park is nestled. \n\nThe shorter and longer routes split at mile 28\, with the shorter route taking a more direct route to Devil’s Den State Park that is ~10 miles less than the longer option with 800 feet less climbing. The shorter route descends to Cove Creek (a generally reliable water source) and then begins the second of the three long climbs. This one is paved to start\, passes the former Strickler town site\, turns to gravel\, and rolls before the final pitch. The high point of the climb is at mile 36\, and from there\, it’s mostly paved and mostly downhill for ~7 miles to Devil’s Den State Park. The shorter route doesn’t pass any camping options until immediately before the state park boundary.\n \nThe longer version of the loop continues south from mile 28 climbing and then traversing a beautiful gravel road across the long summit of Skylight Mountain. A steep and winding descent brings riders down to Cove Creek at mile 37. From there\, a 600-foot climb leads to the Ozark National Forest boundary at mile 41\, and for the subsequent 6 miles\, there are numerous dispersed camping opportunities. The route descends to a paved road along Fall Creek\, and from the bottom of the downhill\, it’s 6 paved miles with one more shorter climb to Devil’s Den State Park (or riders could turn west for a mile to a beautiful swimming hole at the bridge across Lee Creek).\n \nDevil’s Den State Park offers a wide range of amenities and recreation opportunities. The mountain bike trail network through the canyons and past waterfalls has trails for all skill levels. There’s also a swimming pond\, additional trails for hiking\, and a café and small store. \n\nLeaving the state park\, the route climbs steeply up a switch-backed paved road. At nearly 1\,000 feet\, this is the longest climb on the route\, but from the expansive views at the high point\, the route is mostly a gradual descent all the way back to Fayetteville. The final 5-mile-long section of gravel parallels the towering Interstate 49 bridges. The community of West Fork at mile 59 (69 on the longer loop) has a grocery store and several restaurant options. From there\, it’s just 14 miles back to downtown Fayetteville.\n \nFAQ’s \n\nWhat kind of bike should I ride? We recommend a gravel bike with a minimum of 45mm tires; a mountain bike would also be absolutely fine.  If you’re participating in the optional singletrack ride at camp you’ll probably want to bring your MTB or be comfortable underbiking.\nWhat is the longest distance between resupplies? ~25 to 45 miles\nWhat is the percentage of paved and unpaved? Shorter version: Paved: 70% / Smooth Gravel: 30%. Longer version: Paved: 50% / Smooth Gravel: 50%\nWhat if I need help carrying or curating gear?  Please reach out to us at the email below if you need assistance acquiring gear for this trip.  If you don’t have bikepacking bags or don’t want to carry all your gear to camp we can do it for you for a small fee\, more info on the registration page. \nWhat if I can’t make it to camp? That’s okay!  We will have a sag vehicle that can get you and your gear to camp.  Even if this distance feels a little out of reach we encourage you to push your limits knowing that we will support you and get you to camp one way or another!\nWill there be a mechanic on the ride to help with any trailside repairs?  Yes!  We will be able to do light trail repairs and help get you back on the road.  If it’s not repairable we’ve always got the sag vehicle as a safety net.\nCan I get a refund?  A portion of entry fee proceeds goes to Bikepacking Roots\, a nonprofit organization with a mission that supports and advances bikepacking\, the growth of a diverse bikepacking community\, and access to and the conservation of the landscapes and public lands through which we ride.  Due to the philanthropic component refunds aren’t available\, but free transfers to a friend are totally cool.\n\nTo take a deeper dive into the route’s check out the route info from Bikepacking Roots.\n \nRecommended Packing List \nPlease use your Packing Guidelines to help you prepare for a successful and fun weekend on the bike! \nQuestions?  We love email!  Send me your comments\, questions\, suggestions\, to bikes@bikesordeath.com

SUMMARY:Ozark Enduro Lite Race 2 Centennial Park\, Fayetteville
DESCRIPTION:Curious about Enduro Mountain Bike Racing? Not sure how an Enduro race works? Let us help you get your feet wet with the Ozark Enduro LITE Series. A short summer series of 3 beginner friendly enduro races. All rider abilities are welcome but the Ozark Enduro Lite Series is aimed at introducing new folks to the awesome sport of Enduro racing. \nEnduro racing is primarily downhill timed segments\, ranging anywhere from just less than a minute per stage to up to 5-6 minutes that may require some pedaling. A typical Ozark Enduro Lite race will consist of 4-6 downhill segments. Your time will start when you enter the top of a segment and will end when you reach the bottom of that segment. There will be connecting routes to transition between each segment that will not be timed. Only the segments are timed. Riders often ride with groups and make new friends while enjoying the trails during the transfers. After completing all the downhill segments\, your total time will be compared with the times of other riders to see how you did. \nYou will be required to have a fully functional bike and a proper helmet. Full face helmets are recommended but not mandatory. Other recommended items are gloves\, eye protection\, knee pads\, elbow pads. We also strongly encourage carrying the necessary items for minor bike repair such as tire plugs\, tubes\, CO2\, spare chain links etc. \nThere will be aid stations\, however\, it is important to carry enough water and nutrition to last throughout the race. Typical durations will be anywhere from 2-4 hours depending on the course and each rider’s ability. \nPre Rides are available Saturday mornings 10 am -1 pm.  (courses are open to public).  We will be announcing a guided pre ride.   Race day riders meetings are at 8:45 am.  Race Start 9 am.  You must finish by 12 noon.  Awards about 12:30 approximately. \nNone of these races would be possible without volunteers. Volunteer help will be needed at every race\, and we would love to make you a part of our event and give you some cool swag. There will be multiple volunteer opportunities such as helping at an aid station\, course marshaling\, and race setup and tear down.

SUMMARY:FayetteHill
DESCRIPTION:4th annual! Very unofficial/FREE/non-sanctioned. Run at your own risk. No or little markings. Maybe medals. No swag. No glory. No one cares. Definitely heat. Definitely regret. Backyard party at the finish.\n\nMix surface course primarily trail\, including Centennial\, Markham and Kessler. You will cover most of the Fayetteville Traverse and then some. Leave the big lugs at home\, because this course is going to be about 1/3rd pavement. Perfect party run to train for upcoming races or just to have a terrible time.\n\nRoughly 20 miles. Unofficially you can end at smokehouse (13 miles) or start at smokehouse (7 miles)\, but this requires you to shuttle.\nBasic aid stations and water drops. You’ll need at least 1 bottle\, if not two.\n\nIf you want in\, you MUST sign up as “going”. Final details and specifics will only be given to those that are registered.
