About this event

GRIT. GRIND. GLORY.


3-Stage Gravel Bike Race • Prescott, Arizona
October 30 – November 1, 2026


The Rough Rider is a bold new gravel stage race launching in 2026, bringing three days of wild riding, western grit, and Arizona charm to the high desert.

Based in Historic Downtown Prescott, this event blends world-class riding with a uniquely local spirit—drawing on the legacy of frontier hero Buckey O’Neill and the rough-and-ready cavalrymen of the Spanish-American War.

Featuring epic routes through the Prescott National Forest and beyond, the race delivers challenging terrain, scenic backcountry, and legendary vibes in one of Arizona’s most iconic adventure destinations.


Registration opens October 22, 2025 and is limited to 300 riders.
