Life Time Big Sugar Gravel closes the season in Bentonville, Arkansas on Saturday, October 16, 2027, starting and finishing at The Momentary. Canopy-covered and often rough, rocky gravel roads lead into the Ozark highlands of Northwest Arkansas and southern Missouri along Sugar Creek, with a few pavement sections and water crossings. Riders choose 100 miles (about 6,400 feet of climbing), 50 miles (58 miles, about 3,500 feet) or 25 miles (31 miles, about 1,500 feet).
Big Sugar is the seventh and final round of the 2027 Life Time Grand Prix and the 100-mile race is an UNBOUND Gravel qualifier. Support crews are allowed only at the Pineville and Rockford Grange checkpoints on the 100-mile course, there are no drop bags, and riders who also race Little Sugar MTB the previous Sunday earn the Sweet Tooth Challenge pennant. 2027 registration dates and pricing have not been announced.
