Arkansas High Country Race 2026

The Arkansas High Country Race is a gravel cycling event held in October, based in downtown Bentonville, Arkansas. The organizers have a two-year agreement with Visit Bentonville, emphasizing Bentonville’s identity as the “Center of the Freakin’ Cycling universe” and the best bicycling town in America. The route is not detailed in public materials, but the gravel designation indicates off-pavement riding. The Bentonville event is part of the Arkansas High Country lineup, alongside the Northwest Loop Race. Sponsors include the Ozark Foundation and Brightspeed Fiber Internet.
