AES Finale | Round 4 | Mt. Nebo Enduro

Set for November 21-22, 2026, the Mt. Nebo Enduro promises an exhilarating adventure through Arkansas's picturesque Mount Nebo State Park. Perched high above the Arkansas River Valley, this park offers breathtaking views that will enchant participants throughout their journey.
Registration opens on June 12th at 8am, following a first-come, first-served basis. The event organizers reserve the right to limit participation to ensure a rewarding experience for all levels of riders. Each entrant receives one-day competition with up to four to seven stages and between ten and twenty miles of rider-designed racing. Pre-race practice times are scheduled on Friday evening prior to the race day.
The courses will be sufficiently marked, complete with maps emailed to participants in advance. Mid-race aid stations provide ample support, including access to professional neutral mechanics and medical assistance if needed. Timing is precise, accurate to a thousandth of a second, ensuring instant results for all competitors.
After the grueling competition, enjoy a post-race meal and cold beverages (for adults only; ID required) in a family-friendly festival atmosphere. Awards ceremonies will be held by category with prizes awarded five deep across various divisions.
Mount Nebo itself is an iconic flat-topped mountain mesa located near Dardanelle, Arkansas. Rising 1,762 feet above sea level and towering 1,350 feet over the surrounding valley, it serves as a premier outdoor recreation hub established in 1927, making it Arkansas's second-oldest state park.
Race day kicks off with early pre-riding allowed from Friday afternoon. Check-in takes place between 4pm to 7pm on that same day at an undisclosed location. Saturday morning brings official check-in and practice sessions until the late afternoon. Race day commences promptly at 9am, concluding by 3pm. The awards ceremony will follow shortly after.
Dry camping is available through Arkansas State Parks' reservation page for those who wish to stay overnight in the park's serene environment. Safety remains a top priority; helmets are mandatory during official event times, and we recommend full-face protection along with knee pads and elbow guards. In November, expect cool weather with temperatures ranging from mid-50s to low-to-mid 30s.
Riders should plan for hydration by carrying at least 50-60 ounces of water and enough snacks. Other essentials include bug spray, sunscreen, spare tubes, a pump or CO2 inflator, plugs, patches, and other necessary parts. Dogs are allowed but must remain on a leash at all times. Event sustainability practices encourage packing out any trash brought in.
The post-race meal is provided only for racers and volunteers, redeemable with tickets obtained from the Registration & Timing tent. Additional food trucks may be available to serve family members and friends if possible. All participants must sign a waiver of liability before competing.
