🌟 Course Highlights

Expect a well marked course that boasts new gravel this year, and the KOM/QOM Gravel Strava segment climb award "The Kersten Krusher." The King of the Groad 6 mile Segment is the other KOM/QOM up for grabs again. Both Segment starts and stops will be marked.

The 50K sees some new gravel and roads for this year and also includes a 5 mile out and back through a few of the famous creek crossings! The 100k gets new roads plus will enjoy the full classic Equalizer loop through Warrenton and all of the most awesome and refreshing creek crossings from last year.

🚴 Race Experience

Regardless all get the opportunity to hammer the fast road sections peppered by limestone gravel through the rolling countryside of Marthasville and Warrenton through the Aid stations and checkpoints back into racers village for a CX style finish. Speaking of Hammers, have you seen the 1st place awards? (the Strava Segment awards aren't too shabby either) Medals to 3rd place, and top 5 overall will have their name printed on next years shirt.

The Equalizer is fast enough for the pavement pounder, yet technical enough for the gravel grinders, and most importantly.. Fun and safe for everyone. Aid station for both distances, (The 100k sees it twice) Bring your sag bag, we will have it ready for you there. Trailing/roaming sag as well.
