The 2023 Joe Martin Stage Race is a 4-day, 4-stage men's and women's cycling race, held in and around Fayetteville, Arkansas. 2023 will celebrate the 21st anniversary on the USA Cycling Pro Road Tour (PRT) and the 9th year to be on the UCI Americas Tour calendar.
The race kicks off on May 18 in Fayetteville with the Devil's Den Road Race, a 70-mile loop for women with over 4,800 feet of climbing, and a 93-mile loop for men with 5,826 feet of climbing. Both will face a 3-mile switch-back climb at 28 miles, and end with a fast final three kilometres with a very slight uphill finish.
Stage 2, the Mount Sequoyah Road Race, ends with the finish at the top of Mount Sequoyah, with a steep short wall with 2 kilometres to go.
The third day offers the twisty 3-mile time trials in the Devil's Den State Park with an average grade of 5 per cent. The fourth and final stage is a criterium that takes place in Fayetteville on a technical 1.2-mile course with an uphill section leading to the start/finish line.
