The Arkansas Graveler route covers approximately 340 miles of Arkansas’s most beautiful rural roads.

Distance per day varies between 40-70 miles depending on the difficulty of the terrain.

The ride begins on Sunday morning, June 23, 2024. Riders will traverse the landscapes of Arkansas until Friday, June 28, when they arrive at the finale in Jonesboro. We provide free shuttle service back to Fayetteville on the morning of Saturday, June 29, with an approximate return time of 1 PM.
