SUMMARY:21st Annual Buffalo Headwaters Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The Buffalo Headwaters Challenge presented by Adventure Subaru is a three-day\, all-inclusive\, “off the grid” mountain bike and trail running festival. It includes 5 meals\, libations\, primitive tent and RV camping\, live music\, and amazing trails\, highlighted by the annual “Challenge” ride and this year the new run on Saturday\, January 31st\, 2026. The “Challenge” ride consists of a 35-mile semi-supported backcountry mountain bike experience\, a 30 K and 15 K challenge run 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 DJs in the woods and of course\, the infamous grilled cheese and soup at the iconic fire tower. Additionally\, on Sunday\, you will have the option to join the gravel challenge group ride to the Buffalo Outdoor Center or use your wristband at the Buffalo Outdoor Center\, which will provide you with 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. A large portion of this years proceeds will go directly into trail maintenance at the headwaters. With that in mind 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. \nAll attendees will receive a pair of custom event socks. \nComplete your challenge and receive your patch once you check back in. \nWe will have post ride yoga on Saturday. \n-A limited number of primitive RV spots are available for an additional $25.00. (no hook ups\, you are paying for the space) \n-Tickets will be limited in quantity. \n-For 5 meals\,  live bands\, free beverages\,  killer routes \, amazing humans\, and a special swag bag you aren’t going to find a better deal! \nDinners provided by Phat Tire Bike Shop\, Pro Chill 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.

We’ve had sunny skies\, rain\, fog\, and sometimes all during the same event. Snow is possible\, but not anticipated. \nBe prepared to face all that the weather can throw at you! \nWill I be running in the dark? \nYes.  You should bring a light source and back up batteries.  At this time of year\, the average sunrise is 6:45 AM and the average sunset is 6:00 PM. \nWhat do I need to bring? \nAt very minimum\, all racers will be required to carry a water bottle or hydration pack AND a light (flashlight or headlamp) at dark. Due to the remote nature of parts of the trail\, runners will not be allowed on the course without a way to carry water. We strongly suggest you carry a backup light with you at all times.  If you’re wondering about additional gear\, check out this video from Runner’s World. A cell phone is recommended and and service is good on the majority of the course. \nHow tough is the course? \nTerrain = very hilly\, total climb between 100 and 200 feet per mile (5\,000 – 8\,000 feet in 50 miles)\nSurface = trail or dirt road with substantial rocks\, roots and/or ruts

SUMMARY:One Hour Track Run
DESCRIPTION:New Date!\nRace hosted by the River Valley Runners\n•Kicks off the 2025 Grand Prix Season!\n•Run on a standard 400 meter track\n•Grand Prix Championship Event\n•Two separate heats to decrease track congestion\n\n\nDay of race registration: $35.00\n\n\nChili and all the fixin’s will be provided\n\n\nThe first One Hour Track Run was held in 1983 as part of Grand Prix II. This run took place in Russellville at the Arkansas Tech University track. The One Hour Track Run was eliminated after one year as the Grand Prix was trimmed to a core of four races for most of the 1980’s. Later incarnations of a One Hour Track Run were located in El Dorado and later Camden\, Arkansas\, and were a Grand Prix staple in the 1990’s. After 1998\, the One Hour Track Run ceased to be run until the Long Distance Running Committee decided to revive it as part of the 25th Running of the Grand Prix in 2006. Fittingly\, the One Hour Track Run returned to Russellville for Grand Prix XXV\, and was held at the Russellville High School Track. \nThe course is a standard\, 400 meter track. Very Flat! Aid stations every 1/4 mile! \nONE HOUR TRACK RUN WILL BE AT Russellville High School\, Russellville\,AR 72802 \nENHANCED SECURITY FROM RPD WILL BE PROVIDED DURING THE RACE AND IN THE PARKING LOTS

SUMMARY:Run Rare 5k
DESCRIPTION:RUN RARE: The Rarety 5K is more than just a race… it’s a movement. A celebration. A call to action. It’s a heartfelt and high-energy event powered by Rarety\, a nonprofit organization founded by Taylor\, a Class of 2026 student who has been bravely battling a rare disease for years. \nThis 5K honors the often unseen\, unheard\, and misunderstood voices of rare warriors around the world…especially young people like Taylor\, whose personal journey with a rare condition became the heartbeat of this event. Taylor’s story of strength\, perseverance\, and faith is a testament to what it means to keep showing up\, to keep fighting\, and to never let a diagnosis define your destiny. \nRUN RARE invites people of all ages\, abilities\, and backgrounds to walk\, run\, or roll in solidarity with the rare disease community. Whether you’re lacing up in memory of someone you love\, standing beside a warrior in your life\, or showing support from across the country in our virtual option…your steps help amplify a message that is too often overlooked: \nBeing different is powerful!!!! And every rare story deserves to be seen\, heard\, and celebrated!!!
