More than just two races—this is a 10-day festival that brings the cycling world to Bentonville for THE can’t-miss, end-of-season party.

Join us in the cycling mecca for races, group rides, industry gatherings, clinics, and so much more. All set in Bentonville, AR—the “new capital of cool” and hub for arts, culinary, and outdoor experiences. Bookended by races, it’s your chance to shred the MTB trails and gravel roads that put NWA on the map, plus enjoy a full week of events below.
