Back 40 Trail Runs

Description:

The Back 40 is a one day trail experience held on the second weekend
 in November. Come experience some of the best trail systems in 
Northwest Arkansas. The Back 40 and Little Sugar. The Back 40 opened 
in 2016 and is nationally known. Little Sugar fully opened in 2021
 and has quickly gained popularity. Located in Bella Vista, Arkansas
 the trails feature over 80 miles of pure Arkansas singletrack. 
Dirt, rocks, roots, ravines, bridges, waterfalls – we have it all.
 This event, brought to you by the organizers of the award-winning 
War Eagle Trail Races and the City of Bella Vista, brings folks together 
to race through the woods. Push some limits, and have a blast doing it 
while providing funds to maintain and improve the trail system.

Here in Bella Vista, we have deep woods, generous climbs and stunning 
views. We took advantage of this topography when Mayor Peter Christie 
said to build some trails! These trails meander through the woods, 
splash through streams, hug bluff lines and cross specially built 
breathtaking bridges. You’re going to want to stop for a selfie. And then, 
when you finish, take one with Mayor Christie, who waits at the finish!

Participants will get a shirt with the phenomenal race logo, 
designed by local artist and runner Ryan Holler. Finishers medals 
will be given to all participants. Overall top finishers (male and female) 
will receive podium awards as well.
