About this event

THE DIRTY MITTEN GRAVEL BIKE RACE IS MICHIGAN’S NEWEST GRAVEL EVENT AND A GREAT EARLY FALL RACE.
The race starts and ends at the YMCA’s Camp Manitou-Lin in Middleville, MI. Situated halfway between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, it’s a convenient venue for just about all of West Michigan so you have no excuse not to come out!
TO DO: Frederick Meijer Garden & Sculpture Park, John Ball Zoo, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library & Museum
AIRPORT: Gerald R Ford International Airport
AIR TEMP (AVG): 54 F / 70 F
We think we are awesome but will admit we are biased. Check out our athlete's forum to ask questions from those who have already experienced the awesomeness that is The Dirty Mitten!
