Approximately 110 miles and 9,264 feet of climbing across the weekend.
Five ways to race the same four days.
For professional and elite riders looking for a domestic stage race to start a season.
Memorial Day weekend is early — you get four hard days in before the summer calendar fills up.
Four straight days of timed racing on real singletrack. That's how you find race legs, and it's all right here.
For racers chasing a real result in their own category.
There's a category for everyone from juniors to masters 60+, and every day is chip timed.
Win your category and the result gets published — and it stays on file.
For riders who train before work and have a meeting on Monday.
It runs over a long weekend, so the whole race only costs you two days of leave.
Arrive Wednesday, settle in once, and head home Monday. Drive from across the region or fly into XNA, 15–20 minutes from the area.
For riders doing their first stage race.
Grab a partner and race it as a team of two, the way the great stage races are ridden — or ride it solo, or take the touring class with no clock on you at all.
No single day will break you. It's doing them four days in a row that makes it a stage race.
For riders who come for the quality of the singletrack.
Experience the world-famous OZ Trails on a marked, supported course — a guided, high-speed way to see the region’s singletrack.
Four days to explore the trails with the course planned and support in place. Come for the riding, and race it as a team, solo or e-bike touring.
The individual days are not long. Doing them consecutively is the event.
Roughly a hundred feet of climbing per mile, mostly in short steep efforts.
Berms, built rock and hand-cut ledge from the first mile to the last.
Warm, green and humid. Plan your hydration properly.
Beautiful to ride and hard on tires. Bring good ones and a plan for a cut sidewall.
Drive in or fly into XNA, 15–20 minutes from the area. Stay in Bella Vista or Bentonville and unpack once.
Registration opens November 1, 2026 at 8 AM Central.
