Pedal through breathtaking rivers and mountain scenery

The Big Dam Bridge 100 is Arkansas' premier cycling event, held September 26, 2026, in central Arkansas. Cyclists of all abilities are invited to tackle distances from 15 to 105 miles, taking in riverside vistas, mountain scenery, and the event’s namesake 4,226-foot bridge—the longest pedestrian and bicycle bridge in North America. Participants enjoy a scenic, supportive, and festive ride, with multiple route choices, well-stocked aid stations, finisher amenities, and the chance to experience the best of Arkansas cycling.

Choose your challenge: 15, 26, 50, 75, and 105-mile routes available, with e-bike and tandem options. The course follows the Arkansas River Trail system across three counties—Pulaski, Faulkner, and Perry—featuring riverside paths, three Arkansas River crossings (two over the Big Dam Bridge itself), and notable climbs like Wye Mountain (3.1 miles, 573 ft elevation gain).
