PEA RIDGE | MAY 10

Let’s kick this off! Ozark Foundation’s OZ Kids™ Crit Championship Series – a bike race series for kids ages 2 -10, first stop is Pea Ridge Second Saturday! It’s going to be EPIC!

Race categories are grouped by age. We have races for both balance bikes and bikes with pedals. Each racer gets a numbered race plate with a timing chip...because they are LEGIT...and a totally rad medal. The top three times in each category will stand on a podium and collect their prize! 

Points awarded during this race will count toward the OZ Kids™ Crit Championship Series Overall Podium to be held at the series finale in Bentonville, October 18. Click here for series rules and point structure.

Registration is required for all racers. Space for the race is limited. Race fee is $15.
