Arkansas Graveler

Welcome to the Arkansas Graveler
The Arkansas Graveler route winds through some of the most scenic, iconic rural roads of Arkansas, beginning in Fayetteville and pointing East to Jonesboro.

Total ride distance: 340. 

Daily ride distances vary between 40-70 miles depending on the difficulty of terrain. 

For 6 full days, enjoy the warmest welcome from our host communities, treat yourself to off-the-bike recreational experiences like fishing and archery, kick back for nightly live entertainment and fill your hungry post-ride belly with delicious, farm-to-table dinners.
This is a gravel TOUR, not a race. You’ll want to make the most of every farm stand, rest stop, crystal clear water hole and all the many grassroots flavors Arkansas has to offer.

If you don’t want to ride for 6 days — not to worry. Check out our single-day “Mini Graveler”. We even have a category for those who want to tag along but NOT pedal as a “Non-Rider Participant.” For further details, visit our website arkansasgraveler.com

Between April 1, 2024 - June 1, 2024, riders may: 

• Transfer entry to another rider for no additional fee
• Defer with guaranteed entry into next year's event, and repay 25% of next year's entry fee when registration for the following season opens. Deferral requests must be received in writing to info@arkansasgraveler.com prior to June 1, 2024. 

The Arkansas Graveler requires numerous contracts with communities, venues, culinary teams, entertainment producers, and ride support. While we understand unforeseen circumstances arise, due to the high expense of hosting the event and the nature of this event changing locations every year, registered participants will not be eligible for refunds or deferrals after June 1, 2024.
