Life Time Big Sugar Classic

Two World-Class Races, One Big Week.

The Life Time Big Sugar Classic brings a full week of off-road cycling to Bentonville — the Little Sugar MTB race on October 11, followed by the marquee Big Sugar Gravel race on October 17. Whether you're racing the gravel roads, the mountain bike trails, or both, you need a room that's actually set up for a bike — not a closet to lean it against.

In-Room Storage

Your Bike Stays With You. Securely.

Wall-mounted, secure storage right in your room. No leaving a race-week bike unsecured outside or wondering if it's still there in the morning — roll in after a training ride, hang it up, and you're set for the next day.

Built specifically for the riders who travel to Bentonville every October knowing exactly what this week is about.

Free Breakfast Before The Start Line.

Hot breakfast starts at 6AM — early enough for race-day mornings — plus an espresso station to get dialed in before a long day on gravel roads.

Book early. Race week sells out hotel rooms across Bentonville every year, and the 100-mile distance itself sells out fast too.

Book Before Race Week Fills Up.

Book direct for the best rate and a room that's actually set up for your bike.
