Life Time Big Sugar Classic Week

A Week in the Bluffs

The Life Time Big Sugar Classic features a world-class mountain bike race and a world-class gravel race in the cycling capital of the U.S., Northwest Arkansas. It’s a week-long celebration that allows off-road enthusiasts to shred both the MTB trails and gravel roads that put this corner on the map. Wind down the season with a sugar crash and join us for the Life Time Little Sugar MTB and the Life Time Big Sugar Gravel presented by Kenetik.
