The Life Time Big Sugar Gravel race is a premier gravel cycling event held annually in Bentonville, Arkansas, serving as the grand finale of the Life Time Grand Prix series. The race features a 100-mile course winding through the rugged highlands and bluffs of the Ozark Mountains, renowned for its “Ozark chunky” gravel, loose rocky roads, steep remote climbs, off-camber descents, scenic fall foliage, and several water crossings. Riders face relentless terrain with about 7,000 feet of elevation gain, minimal pavement, and sections that reward toughness and skilled handling.
