SUMMARY:20th Annual Buffalo Headwaters Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The Buffalo Headwaters Challenge presented by Adventure Subaru is a three-day\, all-inclusive\, “off the grid” mountain bike festival. It includes 5 meals\, libations\, primitive tent and RV camping\, live music\, and amazing riding\, highlighted by the annual “Challenge” ride on Saturday\, January 25th\, 2025. The “Challenge” ride consists of a 40ish mile semi-supported backcountry mountain bike experience with a few marked bailouts along the way. It’s a ride\, not a race… just finishing is winning. During your ride you will possibly encounter dj’s in the woods and of course the infamous grilled cheese and soup at the iconic fire tower. In addition on Sunday you will have the choice of joining the gravel challenge group ride to the Buffalo Outdoor Center or using your wristband at The Buffalo Outdoor Center and that will get you free shuttles for the DH runs all day. \nImportant! This is our annual fundraiser for the club and goes a long way in providing the needed tools and materials that go into the 10\,000 hours plus volunteers put in each year. With that this is a non refundable event. If weather becomes an issue we will reschedule event to a later date but will not be offering refunds. Thank you for your understanding. \nThe first 200 members to register will receive an exclusive 20th challenge commemorative coaster set. \nAll attendees will receive a pair of custom “firetower” socks. \nMember giveaways include: \n2 night camper cabin stay at Devils Den (courtesy of AR state parks) \nHorseshoe Ranch Gift Card \nPhat Tire Bike Shop Gift Cards \nand many more! \nWe will have post ride yoga on Saturday. \nAnother Sunday option will be a guided trail run. \n-A limited number of primitive RV spots are available for an additional $25.00. (no hook ups) \n-Tickets will be limited in quantity. \n-For 5 meals\, 2 live bands\, free beverages\,  killer routes \, amazing humans\, and a special swag bag you aren’t going to find a better deal! \nLive Music from The Spooklights and Crescent City Combo. \nDinners provided by Phat Tire Bike Shop and OORC. \nThanks for you continued support and much gratitude to all of our sponsors. \nLunch at the fire tower provided by The Buffalo Outdoor Center \nBeverages by Trailside Coffee Co\, Fossil Cove Brewery\, Liquor World and the OORC \nBreakfasts provided by Ozark Natural Foods and the OORC.

SUMMARY:Village Creek 10K/25K Trail Run
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to year 12! \nVillage 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 known as Crowley’s Ridge. \nOur 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. \nThe start/finish sits at the edge of our lower campground and boasts some of the most pristine bathhouses 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 several 5-star cabins available just up the hill towards Lake Dunn. \nThe 25k has a 6-hour time limit. You have approximately 3hr and 15min to make it to our bib check at the 25k turnaround. If you have not checked out of the turnaround 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! \nThe 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 halfway points for both races. This is a cup-free race! Bring your bottles! The 10k is an out and back\, also follow marker 13\,14\,15\,16\, turnaround goes back to finish.
