The 2026 Life Time Rad Dirt Fest

Deep in the Southern Colorado plateau lies an untouched plethora of gravel unlike any other. The towering Spanish Peaks and expansive mesas serve as the backdrop for the three unique courses. With more than 90% maintained gravel and mostly rolling routes, it’s unlike any other region in Colorado! Don’t be fooled though…the elevation and climbing will humble you, especially on the 110mi. We mean it when we say you’ll truly become one with nature and see an abundance of wildlife! Jump in and see for yourself—it’s gonna be RAD.

The Rad Dirt Fest is a qualifier event for Life Time UNBOUND Gravel presented by Shimano. For more information on the qualification process, visit our website.
