Dirt Movement - Twin Mountain Gravel

A festival celebration of dirt and community. Our goal with Dirt Movement events is to create courses and experiences that are shared, as much as possible, for all participants. It doesnt matter if youre running 3 miles or riding 50 miles. We are one community with one purpose - get outside and move.

What else do we all have in common? We love to eat (a lot), drink (beer or buch), and be merry (rock out to local music).



-------------------------



FORMAT

Choose to bike or run the quiet backroads tucked between Springdale and Fayetteville.

RUNNERS at Twin Mountain Gravel will get to share the same creek crossings, punchy climbs, and tree canopies as the cyclists. You will have 6 hours to complete as many (or few) laps on the 5.3 MI (8.8KM) course as you can handle (or feel like). Do it solo or as a 4 person team! There is a 10% discount per person when you register a full 4-person team! Team members will receive a refund once the 4th person has registered.

CYCLISTS will have the option of two course distances. Each of those distances has 2 single-track options, allowing you to choose your own adventure based on how you feel. These variations come once you enter Lake Wedington and the Ozark National Forest. Choose one, two, or none of the single track sections while not veering from the courses and being separated from your friends.



OFFICIAL RULE OF 3 [https://www.ruleofthree.bike/] TRAINING RIDE!!

We have partnered with Rule of 3 in making this the only Official training ride. Rule of 3 is almost exactly one month after Twin Mountain Gravel, take this opportunity to hone your singletrack skills, test out your bike setup and build your stoke!

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN REGISTRATION?

Your ticket to ride, and run, on some quiet Northwest Arkansas' backroads! These scenic roads are a beautiful place to lose yourself - or find yourself. Either way, we know you'll love the courses.



SWAG

There are a lot of events in Northwest Arkansas and we appreciate you choosing to participate in ours. We want your commemorative item to be something that you'll actually wear and will serve you well. We will have hats, beanies, and socks to choose from at packet pickup. You decide what you like and need most. And hey, buy a t-shirt if you like them as much as we do.



AID STATIONS AND ON-ROUTE SUPPORT

Each route will have multiple aid stations brought to you by some of our partners like The Meteor, Rapha, and more. In addition to the stationary aid, you'll find vehicles on course to help you out if things don't go as planned. We got you.



TIMING

The event will be timed but it isn't a race. Runners will receive an overall time for their efforts. Cyclists will have two timed segments on their courses. One is in the second singletrack section and the second is on a gravel climb. The only award you'll receive is from yourself knowing that you participated in a good time.



YOU'RE THE DJ ON COURSE!

In your confirmation email you will receive a link to a Spotify playlist. Add songs that inspire you, make you want to shake it, or bring you back to earth. These tunes will be jamming on course throughout the day. It's your event.



LIVE MUSIC

Featuring The Meadow Makers and more coming soon. Each Dirt Movement event will have live bands from all around the region. We will be announcing the rest of the line up as we get closer!



FOOD AND DRINK

Nothing can bring a community together like a shared meal. Sitting down to connect and exchange stories of the day's adventures over a plate of hot food and free beer from local breweries is key to a good time.



RAFFLE GIVEAWAYS

We'll be raffling off high-quality prizes throughout the day courtesy of our sponsors. Must be present to win!
