Get ready for Central Arkansas’ fastest growing cycling event over the last five years – the Young Life River Classic. This event is a fundraiser for Young Life’s Southside youth ministry program that works with teenagers in underserved communities south of I-630. The 2023 ride was our largest to date, and we're hoping to keep that momentum going in 2024.
What is the River Classic?
- A USA Cycling-sanctioned, fully supported ride with great fun, food and fellowship
- This is a fully supported ride, with easy-to-follow route signs, rest stops, and traffic control.
- A ride with three distance options for every level of cyclists
26 miles for beginners or those that just want to cruise
44 miles for those looking for a weekend challenge
63-mile route for experienced cyclists
The 2024 River Classic will depart from the Ace Glass Corporate Headquarters (3101 Dugan Street, near the LR Airport) Saturday morning at 8am.
We will provide post-ride food and drinks, and all participants will receive a free photo from RBS Pics Photography!
All courses are well-marked and we have several aid stations along the route where Young Life leaders and students will be ready to provide assistance.
All participants will receive an event t-shirt.
We hope to see you on Saturday, September 21!
