Ride for a Cause. Ride for a Family. Ride for a Child.

Experience the beauty of the Ouachita Mountains while making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families across Arkansas.

The 5th Annual Ouachita Gran Fondo for Families returns on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at our new Starting Location sponsored By Oaklawn , bringing cyclists together for an unforgettable day of challenging climbs, scenic roads, community spirit, and purpose-driven fun.

Every mile ridden helps support Ouachita Children, Youth & Family Services (OCYFS), an organization dedicated to providing hope, safety, and support to vulnerable children, youth, and families in crisis.

Through its programs, OCYFS serves youth and families affected by abuse, neglect, homelessness, domestic violence, and other challenging circumstances through:

• Emergency Shelter Services
• Residential Shelter Programs
• Street Outreach & Drop-In Services for Homeless Youth
• Domestic Violence Shelter & Support Services

More Than a Ride

The Ouachita Gran Fondo is more than a cycling event. It's a celebration of community, perseverance, and giving back.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, conquering the legendary climb up Jack Mountain, or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery of the Ouachitas, every rider becomes part of something bigger.

Then, when the ride is done, join us at Whiskey Ridge Ranch for an incredible finish line celebration featuring great food, music, mountain views, and the camaraderie that makes the Ouachita Gran Fondo one of Arkansas' premier cycling events.

Gears Up for Good!

We can't wait to see you at the starting line this October!
