Welcome to the first annual Sugar Creek Showdown 2 Mile Run! This cross country race is located in beautiful Bella Vista, Arkansas. Positioned on the former Berksdale Golf Course, this manicured cross country course will take you down fairways, over crisp greens and along the Sugar Creek! The Sugar Creek Showdown will kick off with a 2 mile race open to the public previous to starting our High School and Junior High competitions. Those student-athletes will be competing alongside some of the best schools and runners in the state and region! Stick around after the 2-mile race to watch the elite competition (and help cheer on those Tigers!)
The 2 Miles will be a fun event for all ages and abilities! The race is two laps of a ONE mile loop. We encourage race goers to take advantage of the local food trucks on site as well as Allen's Foods right next door after the race!
T shirts and concessions will be available for sale.
