SUMMARY:Hincapie Gran Fondo

SUMMARY:Arkansas NICA Race 1 - Plateau Region
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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.

Major Culver served multiple combat deployments throughout his military career and served on countless programs and organizations in our local community. He was a true American hero who courageously sacrificed his life for our country. \nThis race also honors Leslie Darden\, a hero & inspiration to so many in the racing world. She pushed people to be the best they could be through her steadfast encouragement\, uplifting cheers\, and empowering guidance!  Leslie was an alumna of SouthArk and worked in the healthcare industry for 12 years. \nIt is an honor for us to recognize the courageous spirit of all of our hometown heroes including healthcare professionals\, firefighters\, military\, and law enforcement who serve and protect our community!  We wish to raise awareness of the sacrifices made daily by these heroes and unite to honor all those who have stepped up to earn the title of HERO. \nFor additional details and to register to participate in the Hero Run/Walk\, go to www.southarkexpo.com/contests/hero-5k-run-walk
