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 at Old Pine Coffee Roasters in Fayetteville 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.
This year's coffee stops include:
Thank you to our primary sponsors Rush Running Co. and Spark Foundation for providing support and gear for all our runners/bikers!

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.
