About this event

Do you have what it takes to tame her?
Here are your options:
200-mile solo
200 miles as a relay team
100 mile Moe
100-mile Moe Team Relay
50-mile solo with little-t
Come see what all the Desert Gravel hype is about!

We've learned that by taking on audacious goals
pushing yourself into the very deep end of the sandbox
packing your entire life into one huge day
amazing personal growth happens.

Rexy was created to provide exactly that - a true desert Odyssey full of incredible beauty, amazing roads, epic climbs, and endless views. A route connecting two of the most iconic towns in off-road cycling via a ribbon of unknown, untapped, unbelievable gravel. Fruita, Colorado - Moab, Utah for the course and Cisco, Utah for Moe, via a route that few even know exists.

Full aid stations, marked course, and sag support. Shuttle options to the start of the 200 and 100 milers. Camping options at the starting line and very close to the finish line! Come experience what Desert Gravel is all about.

A route challenging enough to truly test you, rideable enough to truly inspire you. Still not sure? Gather 2 or 3 of your gravel besties and conquer REXY as a relay team of 4.

Any way you size her up it all comes down to a 200 mile or 100 mile, or 50 mile EPIC desert challenge - One day - one goal - one incredible accomplishment.

REXY is ready, are you?

Rexy - Queen of the desert

200 mi · ↗ 10,450 ft · 90% gravel · $248 entry

Can you surviver her?

Technically speaking, Rexy is a race. As with all ultra-endurance challenges it really is about the journey - the adventure, the finishing! So yes, if you are a world-class bad-ass athlete Rexy welcomes you with tiny little T-Rex arms and a mouth full of huge teeth. Come out and throw it down! We'll have amazing awards for the overall winners. Crowing the Queen and the King of the desert as well as age group placers too.
For everybody else, we welcome you not so much with the tiny arms and giant teeth but with the huge heart that it takes to power such a monster! Your competition isn't so much about you versus Rexy as it is about you versus you. When the sand gets deep, the road goes straight up and the sun goes down we want you to forget about the monster and dig deep inside you, perhaps deeper than you ever have and find within you the strength to Get It Done!
Whichever group you find yourself in we can promise you three things.
1-We've done everything we can to provide an incredibly exciting, challenging and inspiring event.
2-Whether you are the first to arrive or the last, when we hang that finishers award around your neck you will absolutely know you've accomplished something special.
3-When the dust settles, the soreness fades and the red is finally gone from your socks the memories from your day in our desert will be there for a long, long, long time.
