It's the Dirty Thirty!
The Little Rock Hash House Harriers invite you to join them for three nights and four days of fun, fellowship, and general Hash debauchery while communing with nature in a
picturesque mountain setting.
Camp Clearfork is located on a spring-fed lake in the scenic Ouachita National Forest on Hwy. 270, twenty miles west of Hot Springs National Park. If you’re full of energy, you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, fishing, or swimming. Or if you’re like the rest of us, you can just roast your weenie and brown your buns until the next hash run.
Price? Cheap! Only $145 for a bed in a bunkhouse, or $165 for a bed in a staff cabin if you pay before May 1 (after May 1, add $20 to each). Included in the fee are three nights of lodging, hot showers, meals, tons of beer & snacks, plus the usual assortment of priceless giveaways and other hash junk you’ve come to know and love. Bring your own pillow, twin bedding, personal effects, a floatie, and a swimsuit if you’re shy. Note: Space is limited to the first 78 paid entrants. If you are not event staff and sign up for a staff cabin, you may be reassigned to a bunkhouse and the difference refunded.
Hash Runs, you ask? There are plenty of them, including:
The Get Acquainted Run Friday, 7:00 p.m.
The Dark-of-the-Moon Run Friday, 11:45 p.m.
The 13th Psycho Memorial Hash Run Saturday, 4:00 p.m.
The Hangover Recovery Run Sunday, 11:00 a.m.
Camp Clearfork is located at 11500 Clearfork Trail, Royal, AR, 71968. To get there, take I-30 to Malvern, Arkansas, then go West on Highway 270 approximately 45 miles. Camp Clearfork is located 20 miles west of the city of Hot Springs. Watch for the sign on the left about two miles past the town of Crystal Springs.

This gravel and road cycling event will begin at 8 a.m. on the morning of the famous Battle of the Ravine football game between Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist University. If you plan
to attend the game, come early and enjoy an awesome ride in Southern Arkansas—you won’t be disappointed. After the ride, stay for the post ride events which will include food, drinks, and entertainment. There will be rest stops on each route.
This isn’t a normal road ride and this isn’t a normal gravel ride. This is also not a race! This is a ride for those that love to ride their bicycle on quiet, low-traffic county roads.
There are 4 route options in total.
3 of the routes will have pavement and gravel.
For those pure roadies, there is 1 route that is all pavement.
“Groad” refers to a route that has both road (pavement) and gravel.
Gravel + Road = Groad
The links to each route is below.
We highly recommend downloading the route you plan to ride on your bike computer so you don’t get lost! While we will have the routes marked with signs/arrows, but it’s always best to have the route on your computer! It’s possible that you may not see a sign!

33-mile Road route:

***If you’ve only ever ridden road (pavement) and you’re trying to decide if your skinny 25 mm or 28 mm tires would be safe on the gravel, we do NOT recommend it! You will most likely get a flat! It’s best to ride any dirt and/or gravel roads with at least 35 mm wide TUBELESS tires. However, even a 35 mm tire is considered skinny these days! Many gravel riders prefer 40+ mm tubeless tires. For the groad routes, we personally prefer 42-45 mm wide tubeless tires and run fairly low tire pressure: 28-30 psi. So if you don’t have a bicycle that will accommodate a wider tire, ride the 33-mile road only route.
