back, with a few notable changes from the inaugural edition:
-
We revised the course and repositioned the start/finish area to utilize the venue's pavilion.
-
Instead of just one race, there will now be four on Friday summer nights (biweekly).
-
Entry fee payments will be taken in-person on the day of each race (cash or Venmo only) with payout distribution pulled from entry fees. Pre-register for free on BikeReg for a discounted price and streamlined check-in process on race-day.
-
Each race day will have a simple A/B/C format with combined men/women fields.
The Course:
1.4-mile clockwise loop featuring a technical start, a long stretch of double-track on the back side, and a fast and sweeping return into a slight uphill finish. View the route here.

The Venue:
There will be ample parallel parking around the perimeter of the pavilion along either side of W Knapp Dr & N Morrill Ave; do not park in the fields. Check-in, registration, bathrooms, and podium awards will be located at the pavilion (indicated by the yellow star). The venue can also easily be accessed via the Razorback Greenway from either direction. The use of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs is prohibited on the property.
