Arkansas Graveler

The Arkansas Graveler is owned and operated by The Ozark Foundation, a charitable organization focused on creating fun and enriching outdoor experiences in Northwest Arkansas that elevate the region as a better place to live, work, and play. The event is co-hosted by the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism, the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission, and the Arkansas Department of Commerce.

The mission of the Arkansas Graveler: to celebrate the beauty and culture of the Natural State by providing an epic adventure for touring cyclists while creating economic opportunity for rural communities along the route. By emphasizing State Parks, Host City activation, and cultural experiences unique to the Natural State, this event is well on its way to becoming the most iconic, off-road multi-day cycling event in the United States.

The concept for the Inaugural 2024 Graveler began with the Arkansas Traveler poem, paying homage to the days of yore, rambling through the countryside of Arkansas. We tweaked the name to represent a multi-day gravel ramble by bike. And riding in Arkansas is no small feat; the route winds through challenging terrain and hidden pockets of Arkansas where the true gravel gold awaits.
