Mount Sequoyah Triathlon

Get your miles and your caffeine fix!

Join us for the 7th Annual Espresso Run/Ride, a fun social event hosted by the Natural State Run Club, where we run, bike, or skate between some of NWA’s best coffee shops—fueling up with local brews at each stop.

We’ll kick things off at 7:00 AM and make our way through a curated route of local cafes on the Razorback Greenway. It’s not a race—just a great way to celebrate movement, community, and coffee.

Last year's coffee stops include:

• Old Pine Coffee Roasters

• Onyx Coffee Lab

• Doomsday Coffee

• Rush Running Co.

• The Meteor Cafe

Come for the espresso. Stay for the vibes.

Please note: this is a ONE-WAY event. transportation from the finish is not provided. Registration includes coffee at each stop (not required to consume), water, and donation to a local non-profit.

The Hero Half Marathon is a fundraising race and community event hosted by The Spark Foundation in partnership with Fayetteville Firefighters’ IAFF – Local 2866.
