A weekend long celebration of fresh air, running, cycling, eating, drinking, camping, live music, and most importantly - community
The weekend consists of three main events - running, a hill climb, and a big day of gravel riding. Sign up for as many as you’d like or participate in all three to complete The Chester Challenge!
Friday come out early to grab a prime camping spot along the bank of Clear Creek and get settled in for a weekend of letting it loose the best way we know how - away from civilization.
Saturday starts with breakfast and a wonderful unpaved run through the hollers of Chester along Clear Creek. In the mid-day you can join the shake out ride and get a preview of what is in store for Sunday’s gravel quest.
Saturday afternoon begins the Artist Point Climb. This is a timed 13 mile climb, with 1,500 ft of elevation gain, up to one of the most beautiful vistas in the region.
Once you’ve had your fun on the bike, it’s time to head back to Chester for dinner and a show. Put your feet up, take a rest and listen to some live music. Eat a lot! You’ll be burning some serious calories tomorrow.
Sunday is a day for some big gravel! These routes are not for the faint of heart. You’ll roll out of town and take on about 7 miles of technical jeep roads. Take your time and absorb the majesty in these hills that seem to go on forever, like the 30ish miles overlooking Lake Fort Smith.
