Sandhills Open Road Challenge Will Celebrate 25 Years August 7-9

Time flies when you’re having fun, and oh what a ride it’s been with the Sandhills Open Road Challenge (SORC).

If you live in Arnold, SORC has surely affected you in some way. Whether you serve as a board member or volunteer, were a participant on the course, sponsored the event, own a local business that saw a boost in sales race week, are a landowner along the race course, hosted a driver, or are the recipient of a SORC donation, the effects of SORC in our community have reached far and wide.

SORC will be celebrating its 25th anniversary in August 2025. Twenty-five years of racing, and 25 years of friendships made. This event has brought cars from 40 states and Canada to our little corner of the world. The event sells out on opening day each year and has a wait list to get in. We’ve even had people move to Arnold because they fell in love with the town and people. No one could have ever predicted 25 years ago what would happen when a community comes together to “Grow Great Things.”

So welcome racers, spectators, sponsors, and volunteers. We hope you enjoy your time in our little community with a big heart.

Devil’s Den Motorcycle Rally 2025: Revved Up and Ready for Fun

If you’ve got a tank full of gas and a hog wearing wax and the highway is calling your name, strap on your helmet for the Devil’s Den Motorcycle Rally in Arnold on July 11-12, 2025. The goal of this annual event is to raise money for charities while having fun rockin’ and rollin’.

Another great lineup of events is scheduled, with food and drinks, biker games, live music, and karaoke on Friday evening. Saturday brings the show and shine, poker run, barbecue, three live bands, auction, beer belly contest, and more. All the action will be at the Arnold Recreation Area, and you can be sure there will be plenty of food, cold beverages, and giveaways too.

Back by popular demand is the band Hookt, and this year the rally members are excited to introduce Paisty Jenny. Their song “Tell It Like It Is” is currently trending as a top rock song in the nation, reaching #15 on the SMR Chart. Earlier this year, their previous single, “Jesus and Guns,” reached #16 on the same chart. You can catch both of these amazing bands right here in Arnold! You’ll also be able to catch the Craig Furne Experience…local artist Craig can really crank out everyone’s favorites!

See the event poster for the full schedule or visit the Devil’s Den Motorcycle Rally Facebook page.

Each year, proceeds from the event are donated to charities. The 2025 charities focus on autism awareness and suicide awareness. The Rally board will also use funds to award a Devil’s Den Scholarship to a local senior at graduation. A brief description of this year’s charities follows:

• Arnold Public Schools has several children identified with autism. The Rally board will work with the teachers of those children to accumulate a list of needed items and purchase them for the school, which are also useful for many other students as well.
• Their second charity is for suicide awareness which helps support groups for families who have been impacted by a suicide. It is estimated that a suicide attempt is made every minute. This charity also increases public awareness of how to help prevent this terrible tragedy from happening. The Rally board has also set up a local fund to help families in need.

No motorcycle is necessary to come enjoy some “crazy nights” while we prove that “rock and roll ain’t noise pollution.” See you there!
