AES | Round 1 | Bentonville - Bella Vista Enduro

About the Event

Experience the Bentonville - Bella Vista Enduro, set to take place from August 29th to 30th, 2026. This premier enduro race is located at the heart of Northwest Arkansas, renowned for its exceptional mountain biking trails and diverse landscapes that offer a unique challenge to riders of all levels.
Registration kicks off on June 12th at 8:00 AM, with spots filling up quickly based on first-come, first-served basis. The organizers may limit participation if necessary to ensure an optimal racing environment. Each participant receives one-day competition involving between four and seven stages covering approximately 10-20 miles of rider-designed trails.
The race features well-marked courses complete with detailed maps sent via email a week before the event, ensuring every turn is clear for racers. A vibrant mid-race support system includes access to professional neutral mechanics and medical assistance should any issues arise during the intense competition.
Timely results are guaranteed through professional timing services that provide accuracy down to one-thousandth of a second, allowing instant feedback on performance. Post-race festivities include a family-friendly meal with cold beverages for adults over 21 (ID required), ensuring a memorable celebration after the race concludes at 4:00 PM.
The journey begins in Bella Vista near Allen's Food Market, located at 60 Sugar Creek Center, Bella Vista, AR 72714. The exact start location will be confirmed closer to the event date but is expected to kick off early on Saturday morning.
Race organizers emphasize safety and recommend full-face helmets, knee pads, and elbow pads for all participants. August in Bella Vista brings hot and humid weather with daily highs ranging from 87°F to 89°F, dropping into the mid-to-upper 60s at night. Riders are advised to carry at least 50-60 ounces of water and sufficient snacks.
Additional amenities include bug spray, sunscreen, spare tubes, pumps or CO2, plugs, patches, and other essential parts. Dogs are permitted but must be on a leash throughout the race venue. Proper waste management is encouraged with "pack it in, pack it out" policies to maintain the pristine condition of these natural trails.
On Race Day, timing chips can be picked up according to wave times from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, followed by check-in and official practice sessions until 4:00 PM. The awards ceremony will take place at 4:00 PM, celebrating top performers in various categories.
The Arkansas Enduro Series is committed to providing a challenging yet rewarding experience for all participants. Registration fees include comprehensive liability waivers ensuring peace of mind during the event. Refunds are only issued under extreme circumstances due to weather or unforeseen events.
