Airport, Location Distance to & Course

Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (“XNA”) is the primary commercial service airport in the region. The facility is served by United, American, Delta, Frontier and Allegiant Airlines with daily nonstop jet service to major cities such as New York City, Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and San Francisco.

XNA is located 27 miles/44 kilometers from the Centennial Park venue.

A Note about the Fayetteville Airport:

Fayetteville is also the name of a city in the state of North Carolina which has the airport city code “FAY”. While the two cities share the same name, they definitely are not close neighbors and are 1,000 miles (1,700 km) away from each other.   DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE AND TRAVEL TO FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA!

Rental Cars – All major automobile rental companies are on site at XNA.

Local Transportation – Taxi and Airport Shuttle Services for Visitors

Like in most of the USA, a car can be very useful for visiting the NWA region. However, it may not be essential for World Championship spectators and it is possible to attend the World Championship without hiring a rental car. XNA is served by several taxi and shuttle service companies (in addition to Uber and Lyft) all providing transport, between the airport and Fayetteville area hotels (including the Official Hotel and the Athletes Village) and other destinations near Centennial Park.  The airport shuttle services (except for Uber and Lyft) ordinarily require advance reservations and costs approximately $50-70 one way between XNA Airport to the Athletes’ Village Hotels in Fayetteville.

Cycling Here

Fayetteville and the surrounding areas of Northwest Arkansas will delight road, mountain and gravel cyclists of all levels. There’s a bike-friendly greenway connecting many of the region’s towns and hundreds of miles of singletrack.  The singletrack runs the gamut from beginner-friendly greenways to double-black-diamond jump lines.  Just a short distance out of town and you’ll find yourself on endless miles of serene paved and unpaved stretches of open roads.

So, should you bring you bike to the World Championships?  Absolutely?  Many hotels in Fayetteville tout the “bike friendly business” label, catering especially to cyclists. However, spectators coming to the World Championships should note that while the region offers a multitude of cycling options, the venue where the World Championships is held-Centennial Park-will be closed for several weeks in advance of the World Championships and no recreational cycling will be permitted before or during the event. Spectators are encouraged to ride the surrounding trails and gravel roads and return to Fayetteville at a later date to ride the World Championship course. Some terrific resources for your cycling fun include  https://www.fayetteville-ar.gov/3472/Trails and https://www.oztrailsnwa.com/trail-locations/
