The 2017 Back 40 Run & Ride is December 9 and 10 and this year, the Back 40 distance options for both running and riding are 13 miles, 20 miles and 40 miles. A family-friendly 5k run is also planned for Saturday. The event is headquartered at Blowing Springs Park, both running and riding events will start at the Blowing Springs Trailhead. The 13, 20 and 40-mile runs will start at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 9, and the 5k racers will start after. There will be a 10-hour cut-off time for all runners. Rides start at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 10, and have the same cutoff time. Fully supported aid stations, staffed by experienced runners and riders, will be available along the course. Choose to run or ride, or compete both days for an added challenge. Participants will get a T-shirt with the phenomenal race logo, designed by local artist and runner Ryan Holler. Finishers medals will be awarded to participants of all races except the 5k. Runners will get one-half of a magnetic medal, riders will get the other half. Do both, get both. Those brave enough to double up on the 20- or 40-mile distances will get a special handcrafted award, along with the overall top finishers. Catfish John’s will be out at the event again, providing free catfish and hushpuppies to runners and riders on both days, and for sale to spectators. Space is limited for the races and registration will fill up quickly. Register online by going to https://app.regwiz.io/register/back40/253. There will be no day-of registration. Volunteers are also needed for the event. If only one sport is what you’re into, why not stick around on the other day and volunteer to cheer on other racers? For the course map, visit the event’s website at www.back40trailrace.com/. Follow the event’s Facebook page for more information — Back 40 Trail Race.

The Bella Vista Bluebird Society (BVBBS) needs Trail Boss volunteers to help in efforts to conserve Bluebirds. Trail Bosses are maintenance people who repair or replace boxes on the various trails. This work is normally needed after the birds have finished nesting, although there could be repairs needed during the nesting season also. There are openings for 3 Trail Bosses: 1 each at Dogwood Hills, Kingswood, and Scotsdale. BVBBS has 485 boxes on 38 trails located across Bella Vista. Most of the boxes are located on the 7 golf courses. Some are on shorter trails in parks, churches, etc. No experience is needed, training is provided.
