Joe Martin Stage Race was a road cycling stage race held annually in Fayetteville, Arkansas between 1978 and 2023. It was part of the UCI America Tour in category 2.2. Created in 1978 under the name of Fayetteville Spring Classic, it was renamed the Joe Martin Stage Race in 1989 in honor of the race director Joe Martin, who died that year.[1] The organisers have announced that they are now focused on delivering a new race, the Tour of Arkansas, from 2026.[2]
