Square 2 Square Bike Ride Celebrates 10 Years on the Razorback Greenway

The Square 2 Square Bike Ride, the largest local cycling event in Northwest Arkansas, will mark a milestone in 2025 – 10 years of promoting cycling and community engagement along the Razorback Greenway. 

The Square 2 Square Bike Ride is the only recreational program jointly organized by two Northwest Arkansas cities. Hosted by both the City of Fayetteville’s Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs Department and Bentonville Parks and Recreation, the ride invites cyclists of all ages and skill levels to participate in one of the region’s most celebrated outdoor traditions.

Registration is now open for the Spring Ride on Saturday, May 3. The ride will follow a north-to-south route from Bentonville to Fayetteville. In celebration of the anniversary, a special-edition Square 2 Square Bike Ride cycling jersey is available for purchase, with orders closing on March 5.

The Fall Ride, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 11, will reverse the course, taking cyclists from Fayetteville to Bentonville.
