Eureka Enduro

Eureka springs, ARKANSAS | september 26-27, 2026

An annual stop on the Arkansas Enduro Series, the Eureka Enduro is a rowdy weekend of racing through the "The Little Switzerland of the Ozarks" and the Victorian-style resort town of Eureka Springs. The community is home to some of the best mountain biking in Arkansas including the Lake Leatherwood Gravity Park and the largest gravity park in the state. For 2026, the Eureka Enduro is being held in conjunction with the Eureka Springs Fat Tire Festival - a three-day family-friendly mountain bike festival held throughout the weekend.

New for the Eureka Enduro, we’ve created digital courses with detailed stage information and relevant points of interest. Please note, digital courses are meant to be a reference ahead of race day. Participants should adhere to physical course markings during competition as the margin for error for GPS can vary depending on factors like signal quality, satellite position, and environmental obstructions.
