43rd Annual MightyMite Triathlon
July 18, 2026
8:00am
Forrest City, AR

1/3 mile swim - 13 mile bike - 3 mile run

Join us for one of the longest running triathlons in the United States on a special year as we are gearing up for a "HELLFIRE" event in Forrest City Arkansas. This point to point to point triathlon is a unique experience as you start your swim in beautiful Village Creek State Park. Then enjoy a gently rolling bike course with only 550ft of elevation gain and only a handful of turns on the entire 13 mile bike ride. As you enter the 2nd transition point at East Arkansas Community College you will begin your 3 mile run into downtown Forrest City where you will finish at the Chamber of Commerce. After you finish, enjoy a great post race party brought to you by the Forrest City Chamber of Commerce, including a fun picnic style atmosphere on their shaded grass lawn.
This is local triathlon racing at its BEST, and you won't want to miss out!!
