Bentonville: Where World-Class Cyclists Train

When it comes to training for the global stage, the USA Cycling Team turns to Bentonville for good reason. With its unparalleled trail network, blending challenging climbs, technical features, and flowing descents, Bentonville offers the ultimate outdoor gym for elite athletes. The city's trails, from the rugged singletrack of Slaughter Pen to the demanding switchbacks of Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, provide the perfect environment to build speed, strength, and endurance. It’s here, in the heart of the Ozarks, that world-class cyclists sharpen their skills, preparing to represent the nation on the Olympic and World Championship stages.
