The 2026 OZ Kids™ Crit Championship Series presented by Walmart features FOUR thrilling rounds of racing across Northwest Arkansas. Each race is scored, scores accumulate throughout the series with an overall Series Championship podium celebrated at the final race in October.
You can register for a single race or as many as you'd like — you can even register for all four races at once! While we will celebrate the top 3 finishes at every race, to qualify for the OVERALL Series Championship podium, racers must have a minimum of 3 finishes, one of which must be crossing the finish line at the series finale in Bentonville.
Team Competition
Gather up your team and get registered! The top scoring team will be recognized each race. The team that accumulates the most points through the series will win a spot on the championship podium during the finale in Bentonville (plus prizes, bragging rights and a killer team trophy)! Note your team name during registration and you are in! More info about the team category can be found in the rules, here.
We’re fixin’ to crown some champions while having a ridiculous amount of fun in the process.
