About this race
Welcome to the Arkansas Graveler
The Arkansas Graveler route winds through some of the most scenic, iconic rural roads of Arkansas. Daily ride distances average around 70 miles, with the option for a “fast & flat” century that highlights the Delta Heritage Trail State Park on the final day.
This is a gravel TOUR, not a race. You’ll want to make the most of every farm stand, rest stop, and all the many grassroots flavors Arkansas has to offer.
