Racing in Arkansas

Arkansas runs a year-round race calendar, so there’s almost always a race near you. The calendar is busiest in October, September, and November, with races most often held in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Fort Smith, and Fayetteville.

Races in Arkansas cover the forested Ozark Mountains in the north, the Ouachita range in the west-central part of the state, and flat Delta farmland along the Mississippi River to the east. Expect climbing, technical trail routes in the highlands and flatter, straightforward courses in the lowlands.

Conditions vary widely by region across Arkansas, so weather lives where it’s accurate — each race page shows its typical race-day high, low, and rain chance from NOAA climate normals for that venue and date.
