Gearhead Endurance Challenge

The Gearhead Endurance Challenge is a fitness event held at Craighead Forest Park in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The event takes place at Pavilion 3 and focuses on personal endurance and achievement rather than traditional competition. Participants set their own goals, whether that involves completing a single loop or reaching a total of 30 miles.

The format consists of a 2.5-mile loop. Runners have the opportunity to complete these loops during 30-minute intervals throughout a 6-hour period. This structure allows individuals to test their limits at their own pace within the scenic surroundings of the park.

Registered participants receive several items and benefits:

  • Event tee and drinkware
  • Race day food and swag
  • One drink ticket for the Friday Expo
  • Exclusive GHO discount

A packet pick-up and pre-race Vendor Village are held on the Friday before the event at Native Brew Works. Merchandising for the challenge is provided by brands including The North Face and Stanley. Proceeds from the registration fees support the Jonesboro DARE Program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
