    Gearhead Endurance Challenge — Presented by Roof Raiders

    How far will you go?

    The Gearhead Endurance Challenge is a unique event designed to push participants beyond their perceived limits. Set in the scenic Craighead Forest Park, this challenge consists of 30-minute intervals over a 6-hour period, where participants run a 2.5-mile loop each interval.

    This event encourages individuals to achieve distances they might have thought unattainable. Whether aiming for a single loop or striving for a 30-mile total, participants define their own goals—making this event less about competition and more about personal endurance and achievement.

    Proceeds support the Jonesboro DARE Program.

    The challenge kicks off at 7am.

    Registration: $90 (Individual)

    Location: Craighead Forest Park, Pavilion 3, Jonesboro, AR

    Participants Receive:

    ✔️ Event Tee & Drinkware

    ✔️ Race Day Food & Swag

    ✔️ Chance to Win Prizes

    ✔️ Exclusive GHO Discount

    ✔️ 1 Drink Ticket at Native Brew Works - Friday Expo

    Packet Pick-Up will be at Native Brew Works on Friday, April 24. Alongside packet pick-up will be the pre-race Vendor Village. Participants will receive 1 free drink ticket with their race entry, valid Friday only.
