O’Rock Final Round — Rescheduled to May 1–3, 2026
We’ve moved the final round the O’Rock Epic Enduro to the weekend of May 1–3, 2026. This change was made after learning that a significant group hike (100+ participants) was planned on our primary route during the previously scheduled weekend. A safe and practical alternate route wasn’t available, so postponing to the following weekend was the best option to preserve the course and rider experience.
We appreciate the Ouachita District for their ongoing support and coordination. We remain committed to delivering the unique landscape and challenging experience you expect from O’Rock and are grateful for your patience as we manage these logistical considerations.
Volunteer & Ride Opportunity (original date) | I’ll be at Big Cedar RV Park on the original weekend (April 25–26) to do volunteer work and ride trails that are not on the Ouachita Trail. You’re welcome to join — it’s a great way to get familiar with the area and help support the event.
Safety & Trail Notes | This area is remote; prepare accordingly. Don’t rely solely on trail apps — they don’t always reflect current terrain or alternate routes.
Carry navigation tools, extra water, and emergency gear; travel with someone experienced if possible.
Participating in a volunteer day or the event itself is an excellent way to experience the trails with support.
Questions and Course Info | If you have questions about course statistics, difficulty, or whether completion is attainable for your skill level, please reach out — we’re happy to help.
Expect 5 stages on Day 1 (>20 miles) and 3 stages on Day 2 (
