Hit the Trails in Patriotic Style at the Paradise Found 5K in Bentonville

The Paradise Found 5K is back at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, and this year the race has a little more weight to it. America is turning 250, and NWA is celebrating on the trails.

THE DEETS

Red, White, and Running

Presented by PepsiCo and Monster Energy Ultra, Paradise Found sends runners through Coler’s forested singletrack and scenic terrain. The course was built for bikes, but come race day it belongs to you. There’s one aid station on the course, and the race is capped at 350 participants.

Proceeds go directly to the Peel Compton Foundation, whose mission is to connect the community through nature, education, recreation, and preservation.

Red, white, and blue are strongly encouraged. There’s a prize for the best patriotic outfit, so go all in. Costumes, accessories, full Uncle Sam commitment, whatever you’ve got.

What You’re Running For

Every finisher gets a special-edition medal and race t-shirt. Awards go to the top overall runners, the top three in each age group, and the best-dressed runner on the course.
