2026 Arkansas Enduro Series Standings - After 2 Rounds

We're halfway through the 2026 Arkansas Enduro Series, presented by Monster Energy!

Two rounds down, two to go. 279 of you have accumulated points between the Bentonville + Bella Vista and Eureka Springs rounds, and 95 of you have raced both.

Following is where every category stands heading into Round 3, in Hot Springs, AR, which is part of the 2026 GUDRUN-Northwoods Mountain Bike Festival.

How the points work

Every round offers points based upon where you finish. 1st gets 25, 2nd gets 22, 3rd gets 20, 4th gets 17, 5th gets 16, and it drops one point per place from there through 20th. A DNF counts as a start but scores 0.

Your best 3 of 4 rounds count toward the Monster Energy Series Overall. You need at least 2 finishes and you must race the finale at Mt. Nebo to qualify. We'll award the top 3 in each category at the finale.

So here's the the situation, half-way through: nobody's locked in and nobody's out. There are still 50 points on the table. Missed a round? You're still in this!

Who's in the hunt for the Maxxis Sponsored Rider Program

Maxxis, the Official Tire Sponsor of the series, is backing eight of our most competitive categories this season. The top 3 in each one go into a drawing at the Mt. Nebo finale. One rider per category wins paid entry into the 2027 Arkansas Enduro Series, a Maxxis custom full-face helmet, Maxxis tires, and more gear and support from Maxxis. That's a rad way to start next season!

Here's who's holding those spots right now.

Pro Men | Open

  1. Jake Ingram, 50

  2. Ryan Voit, 44

  3. Brennan Douglas, 32

Pro Women | Open

  1. Lily Aaronson, 35

  2. Emma Zakaras, 25 (tie)

  3. Emilie Flanigan, 25 (tie)

Emma won Round 1 and Emilie won Round 2, but Lily's the only Pro Woman who's raced both, and that's what's got her on top. Bailey Brown and Emily Adamic are just 3 points back at 22. This one's wide open!

Expert Women | Open

  1. Claire Burton, 50

  2. Allison Boerner, 44

  3. Kylie Winbigler, 20

Claire's won both rounds and Allison's been 2nd both times. Those two have been going at it all season.

  2. Nick Baker, 26

  3. Riley Neff, 25 (tie)

  4. Reza Atabala, 25 (tie)

Riley won Round 1 and Reza won Round 2. Charles and Nick are out front because they showed up for both. Showing up matters! Aviery Hickey and Jason Schloss are sitting at 22.

Expert Men | 40–49

  1. Thomas Bubier, 44

  2. Alexey Berd, 42

  3. Justin Petty, 40

Just 4 points separate the top 3, and Luke Moser's right there at 35. This is gonna be a battle all the way to Mt. Nebo!

Expert Men | 50+

  1. Andy Wiseman, 25

  2. Jonah Lindeman, 22

  3. Scott Fitzgerald, 20

Nobody raced Expert Men 50+ at Eureka Springs, so these standings are still all Round 1. Whoever lines up in Hot Springs is gonna move.

  1. Hunter Koss, 50

  2. Robert Hamilton, 44

  3. Austin Story, 35

We're ranking every Expert E-MTB man together here by race time, across all three age groups. Hunter's been the fastest one out there at both rounds. Mike Aaronson and Luis Soto are tied at 28.

Expert Women E-MTB | Open

Nobody's raced this one yet this season. That means the first women to line up in Hot Springs go straight into the top 3! If you ride an e-MTB at an Expert level, this is your sign. Come race with us!
