2026 AgriCrit
AgriCrit was launched in 2025 as a one-of-a-kind gravel race around the enclosed and scenic roads of the Agriculture Park (Agri Park) in the heart of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The course is nestled inside an eight-acre plot of land dedicated to agricultural research at the University of Arkansas. Events are hosted by Bike Club NWA, a local Fayetteville cycling club and race team.
New for 2026:
The 2026 AgriCrit will include a summer series on four Friday nights: June 26, July 10, July 24 and Aug. 7. Also new for 2026 is parking and registration at the Agri Park pavilion on Garland Avenue in Fayetteville.

Registration is available on BikeReg.com. On-site registration will also be available the day of each event at the pavilion.

About Bike Club NWA
Bike Club was founded in an effort to reinvigorate the Fayetteville, Arkansas road cycling scene following the pandemic and to reunite a fragmented Northwest Arkansas cycling community. Our initial approach was simple: extend an open invitation to anyone who would join us for a Sunday pilgrimage through the Ozarks, and then share our experiences on social media to reach cyclists outside of our immediate network.
Since then, Bike Club has grown to become something much bigger than we expected, and in 2025 we decided to formalize the competitive side of the club with the founding of the Bike Club Bandits, a team of friends who race together across Arkansas and sometimes beyond.
As Bike Club continues to grow, however, our mission remains the same: to bring people together through cycling.
