20th Annual Buffalo Headwaters ChallengeJanuary 24-26, 2025
It’s almost time!
The Buffalo Headwaters Challenge, presented by Adventure Subaru, is a three-day, all-inclusive, "off the grid" mountain bike festival. It includes 5 meals, libations, primitive tent and RV camping, live music, and amazing riding highlighted by the annual Challenge ride on Saturday, January 25th, 2025. To celebrate our 20th BHC, the route consists of a 40ish mile, semi-supported, backcountry, mountain bike experience with a few marked bailouts along the way. It’s a ride, not a race… just finishing is winning. During your ride you will possibly encounter dj's in the woods and of course the infamous grilled cheese and soup at the iconic fire tower. In addition, on Sunday you will have the choice of joining the gravel challenge group ride to the Buffalo Outdoor Center or using your wristband at The Buffalo Outdoor Center and that will get you free shuttles for the DH runs all day.
Important! This is our annual fundraiser for the club and goes a long way in providing the needed tools and materials that go into the 10,000+ hours volunteers put in each year. With that, this is a non refundable event. If weather becomes an issue we will reschedule the event to a later date but will not be offering refunds. Thank you for your understanding.
Registration opens on September 6th. Members check you emails for discount code.
The first 200 members to register will receive an exclusive 20th challenge commemorative coaster set.
All attendees will receive a pair of custom firetower socks.
Member giveaways include:
- 2 night camper cabin stay at Devils Den (courtesy of AR state parks)

- Phat Tire Bike Shop Gift Cards and many more!
We will have post ride yoga on Saturday.
Another Sunday option will be a guided trail run.
