5k Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3101551894825041526
ADDITIONAL INFO:
1) This is a “fun run.” It is not a timed event. We will, however, have refreshments and awards for those that register for the event on RunSignUp. The first 50 participants to register are guaranteed a finisher’s medal, and the first male and first female “winners” of the 5k will receive a free CRC membership.

2) We will have a wave start with the 5k starting at 8am and the 1-mile starting ~5 minutes after. Please arrive early enough to check-in for the event (we will be giving you a wristband to denote which race you are running).
3)This is an OPEN course. The 1-mile course will be on the trail with a turnaround point halfway. We ask that you please try to run on the right side of the trail as to not impede those who are returning to the finish. While the majority of the 5k is along the trail, there is a small portion that goes into a neighborhood. It is your responsibility to obey all traffic laws and be aware of your surroundings. Please run opposing vehicular traffic whenever possible.
4) We will have the portion of the 5k course that goes into the neighborhood marked with some cones so you hopefully will know when to turn. Still, please check out the course map prior to the run if you can!
4) We are anticipating a nice turn out for this event, and we are excited! We hope you can make it and meet other runners/walkers!
5) While we love our four-legged friends, we ask that you abstain from bringing them to this event in case there are runners who are wary of dogs.
6) Strollers will be allowed, but we ask that you start at the back of the pack!

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
