Epic Gravel Events - Sunday, June 9th

Full Gravel

The Full Epic Gravel route is shorter than it has been in the past, but is still one of the most challenging under 100 mile gravel races in the Midwest. This course is meant to be a challenge. It includes a little bit of everything. Amidst scenic flowy gravel roads, expect to be challenged with sections of singletrack, ATV trails, and fast pavement. This is not your Sunday stroll gravel event. Some have called it an adventure race.

• 50 miles

• Start: American Birkebeiner Trailhead, Cable, WI

  • 8:00 am

  • Mass Start

  • Neutral Roll-out

• Finish: Mt. Telemark Village, Cable, WI

• Getting to the start: Park your car at Mt. Telemark Village and ride to the start, less than one mile away! —> Details

Half Gravel

This course is as a more manageable entry point into gravel racing. You can still expect incredible gravel roads and the challenge of climbing a manageable bit of Mt. Telemark at the end, but if the singletrack and ATV trails of the Full Gravel are too much, then this is the race for you.

• 27 miles

• Start: American Birkebeiner Trailhead

  • 8:05 am

  • Mass Start

  • Neutral Roll-out

• Finish: Mt. Telemark Village, Cable, WI

• Getting to the start: Park your car at Mt. Telemark Village and ride to the start, less than one mile away! —> Details
