Festival Week Schedule

Now’s your chance to shred both the MTB trails and gravel roads that put NWA on the map. With Life Time Little Sugar MTB presented by Mazda on October 15 and Life Time Big Sugar Gravel presented by Mazda on October 21, join us for an 8-day festival in Northwest, AR. 

Big Sugar Classic is a celebration of cycling, and a way to wind down your season with a bang.  Join us for one event, or both, but bring your friends and family and let’s end 2023 with a sugar crash.

The week in between the two events will feature industry gatherings, group rides, clinics and more.
