With just around 90 feet of elevation gain, this route keeps things gentle and enjoyable, making it perfect for beginners, families, or anyone looking for a relaxed spin. You’ll cruise primarily along the scenic Cowboy Trail, where wide-open skies and peaceful stretches of Nebraska countryside set the tone for a true prairie experience.
Midway through your journey, you’ll roll into Battle Creek for a convenient stop—an ideal chance to rest, refuel, and take in a bit of small-town charm before heading back the way you came.
Whether you're new to gravel or just in it for a calm, easy ride, The Short Line Shuffle delivers a welcoming adventure with just the right touch of cowboy spirit.

Saddle up for the heart of the Cowboy Gravel Grinder with the Tracks and Tread 50K—a perfect blend of scenic cruising and rewarding effort. This 50-kilometer route delivers approximately 500 feet of elevation gain, offering a smooth yet engaging ride for gravel cyclists of all levels.
Rolling out from the brewery, riders will head south into Nebraska’s wide-open countryside, where quiet gravel roads stretch across gently rolling terrain. Expect sweeping views, fresh country air, and the rhythmic crunch of gravel beneath your tires as you find your pace.
The route leads you toward Battle Creek, guiding you through a landscape that feels both rugged and peaceful. With manageable climbs and long, flowing stretches, this course is designed to keep you moving while still giving you time to take in the surroundings.
After reaching the turnaround, you’ll retrace your path back north, finishing where it all began—at the brewery—where a well-earned drink and camaraderie await.
Whether you're pushing your limits or enjoying the ride, the Tracks and Tread 50K captures the spirit of gravel riding: freedom, grit, and just the right amount of adventure.
The Frontier Fondo - 100K Route
Saddle up for the ultimate prairie adventure on The Frontier Fondo, the signature 100K route of the Cowboy Gravel Grinder. Rolling out from the brewery, riders head south into the heart of wide-open country, where the gravel stretches endlessly beneath big Nebraska skies.
With roughly 1,300 feet of elevation gain, this route offers a perfect balance of challenge and flow—long, steady rollers, punchy climbs, and rewarding descents that keep your legs working and your spirit soaring. Along the way, you’ll wind through quiet country roads, pass through charming small towns, and take in sweeping scenic views that define the frontier landscape.
Expect a ride that feels both rugged and welcoming—where every mile tells a story, every hill reveals a new horizon, and every turn reminds you why gravel riding is as much about the journey as the finish line.
The Frontier Fondo isn’t just a ride—it’s a full immersion into the soul of gravel country.
Relay Iowa is the World's Longest Relay Run! Teams of up to 12 participants run 339 miles to cross Iowa over a long weekend. You build your own team and then work together to break down the distance into segments of your choosing. You control the order and distance of runners and can change your plan at any time. Any level runner can participate as long as your overall team pace is 10.5 minutes/mile or less, allowing your team to finish in the allotted time.
One runner at a time from each team will advance day and night beginning in Sioux City on Friday and ending in Dubuque on Sunday. It is a relay, not a race, encouraging teamwork, camaraderie and fun while testing your determination. Contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions or need help getting started.
Our non-profit relay raises money for Restoring Hope International, an orphanage in South Africa, as well as various charities in towns along the route and throughout Iowa. While fundraising is not required, we challenge teams to raise at least $339 to enter our Club 339 fundraising competition. Accept the challenge and ask your family and friends to support your epic 339 mile run across Iowa!
Relay Iowa has become a metaphor for a life well lived. It is not a race to the finish, but an extended relay of individuals journeying closely together, sustaining each other as they stretch the limits of their physical endurance, test their mental toughness and draw upon their emotional well in a place beyond their comfort zones, for the sole purpose of improving the life of another human being.
Join us on this adventure!
Event details and schedule
This is a team event. First your captain registers, creates the team and sets a password. Next, all other team members register using the password. Boom! You just joined the adventure!
All teams begin the Relay on Friday of the event weekend. Exact time for each team's departure to be determined a few weeks prior to event and is based on overall team pace. Overall team pace should be no more than about 10.5 minutes per mile in order to finish in the allotted time.
It is important to provide an accurate per mile pace during the registration process. Pace should not be your personal best, but a comfortable per mile pace over a long distance in demanding conditions. We will check in with each team captain before the event to verify team pace and set team start time.
The course is challenging. Runners should expect to encounter loose gravel, vehicles of all sizes, all types of weather and running in darkness. You will share the road with vehicles throughout the event. Please prepare mentally and physically for this strenuous yet rewarding experience.
Teams can divide the mileage in any way that works for the runners. You can change the plan during the event.
There are many ways to stay informed. Your team captain should be a great resource for planning and preparation tips. Relay Iowa will send emails and post updates on social media leading up to the event. We also have a website with tips and tricks to prepare for the event. www.relayia.org. Keep in touch!
