From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find gravel events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
Join us for a party on the prairie with the Grassland Gravel race/ride!
There are 3 route distances that showcase 116,000 acres of rolling mixed-grass prairie of the Fort Pierre National Grassland. Choose your adventure of 31, 53, or 71 miles whether at race pace or party pace.
We’re cool with whatever you’d like to ride - drop bar, flat bar, e-bike, etc. - as long as it’s set up appropriately for a gravel adventure. E-bikes are welcome but are not eligible for race prizes.
Registration includes stocked aid stations, post-ride meal, event swag, and prizes for the top 3 in each category. Registration fee for all routes is $70 through Wednesday, July 1, 2026. Registration fees increase to $80 on July 2, 2026. Online registration closes on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM CT. Race day registration is permitted. Shirts not guaranteed for registrations after July 1.
There are no refunds and entries are non-transferable. You can choose to protect your registration by purchasing registration insurance through BikeReg when registering for the event.
