About Us
Connect
We believe that creating healthy and welcoming outdoor experiences shapes the soul of a community. We are committed to bringing a variety of events to the region while breaking down any barriers that limit participation.
Compete
We attract, support and create a diversity of competitive events that highlight the Ozark region as a premier outdoor recreation destination.
Conserve
We are dedicated to transforming Northwest Arkansas into a global destination for outdoor recreation, from swimming to off-road cycling, and will assist in building and preserving the infrastructure to support it.
Our mission is to honor and celebrate the natural beauty of the Ozarks while elevating the region to be a better place to live, work and play, with a particular focus on removing barriers to access.
