SUMMARY:TRIFEST for MS
DESCRIPTION:The Trifest for MS triathlon\, the largest triathlon in Arkansas\, draws people from all over the country to Bentonville to raise money for multiple sclerosis research. \nThe Rampy MS Research Foundation hosts the event and each year the race raises almost $100\,000 towards multiple sclerosis research in Arkansas at UAMS\, Northwestern University in Chicago and University of California at San Francisco (UCSF). Since 2012\, the Trifest for MS and other foundation activities have raised close to $900\,000. \n“Most people don’t realize research doctors actually have to raise a lot of money themselves to fund their research\,” race founder Scott Rampy told Fox 24 News. “So we would rather keep scientists in their lab coats studying the disease and figuring out how to cure it versus raising money for their research.” \nHis wife\, Jo Rampy was diagnosed with the disease about 20 years ago. She said the organization is a good way to show other people living with the condition\, that they’re not alone. \n“This illness is progressive\,” Jo Rampy said. “We can get lost in that progressiveness. But we don’t. We take our energy and our time\, and we place it into a cause that can help others.” \n*The events in 2025 will not be USA Triathlon Sanctioned due to the participant one day fee increasing to $21. Instead there is a $7 race insurance charge added during checkout. \nTrifest for MS features a para triathlete division in all the youth events\, and the super sprint distances. Simply register for your race distance and choose the option during registration that you are a para athlete.

SUMMARY:99 Miles of Bad Road
DESCRIPTION:99 Miles of Bad Road is a gravel bicycle race starting and ending in Hardy\, Arkansas.  Expect every road surface type\, with roughly 80% being unpaved.  Don’t let the elevation profile of the GPX fool you – Garmin devices have picked up 100 feet or more of elevation gain per mile. These are relentless rolling hills with an occasional punchy climb or sketchy descent.  Everything from mud\, dirt\, gravel\, concrete bridges\, clay\, crushed limestone\, creek rocks\, broken pavement\, and more.  This route earns it’s name. \nAll finishers will receive a cool memento! Top 3 in each Category will receive awards. Overall winner will receive a unique custom award. \nOh\, and we also have a 199 Mile route option… \nCheck the website and Facebook regularly for updates! \n————– \n-Both distances of this race are loop routes that start and end at Loberg Park in Hardy\, Arkansas.  Camping is available at the campground next door to the park.  We have nothing to do with that\, you’ll have to reserve with them here if you wish to camp: https://www.campspot.com/park/hardy-campground-rv-park \n-Unless there are tornadoes\, large hail\, or extreme thunderstorms the day of the race\, we will not cancel.  Put your big boy/girl pants on\, and ride! \n-There will be some water drops and aid stations along the way\, as well as a drop-bag option for the 199’ers. We will update the Ride With GPS route maps to reflect the locations closer to race day. \n-You are solely responsible for your own safety. We will however require a headlight\, flashlight\, or headlamp\, a whistle/horn\, at least 2L of water capacity\, and an emergency blanket/bivy\, and either a phone\, GPS\, or Bicycle computer. \n– We will make no claim as to whether the course will be marked or not. You are responsible for studying the route maps and navigating.  That’s half the fun!
