GraveliciousTM Race :: Bentonville Bike Fest

GraveliciousTM Race

Last year we were honoured to have Payson McElveen, Niki Terpstra, Ockeloen Jasper and Tijs Zonneveld amongst us! We couldn't have hoped for a more prestigious line up of champions participating in our race!

Tech info

All riders should have route downloaded prior to required racer meeting at 8:50AM. Call-ups and staging (last year's male and female overall race winners 30 & 60) begin at 8:50AM. 60-mile racers start immediately behind 30 mile racers. Police Lead-out for 5+ miles. Yellow line in effect and all racers must come to a complete stop at highway and busy intersections. Finish line is in a new field this year closer to venue.

What to expect:

Gravelicious is becoming our most popular race of the festival featuring a 30-mile gravel race for all-abilities including Juniors 13+, and a longer 60-miler for the true adventurer.

Saturday May 24th, 2025 starts early with two courses:
60-mile and 30-mile gravel routes from the venue straight on to the Ozark gravel. Start / Finish of the race is in Bentonville at the Applegate Property just off 8th Street between S. Walton & SW Elm Tree Rd.
