Cross Country Short Track

On May 23, Friday night the Bentonville Bike Fest is excited to host the very first Cross Country Short Track event.

A Cross Country Short Track Race is an exhilarating and fast-paced mountain biking event that challenges riders on a compact, looped course. Typically lasting around 20-30 minutes, these races emphasize speed, agility, and strategy as competitors navigate tight turns, varied terrain, and quick elevation changes. Designed to test both endurance and technical skills, Short Track races offer thrilling action for participants and spectators alike, making them a popular highlight in the mountain biking community. Whether you're a seasoned racer or a curious newcomer, the Cross Country Short Track Race promises an adrenaline-fueled experience that's not to be missed!
