About this event
Important Notes
This is not your average day on gravel.
Stay sharp. Stay focused. This course throws down technical terrain you won't find on most gravel routes. You'll be tested — mentally and physically.
If you're head-strong and leg-strong, you'll pass. And you’ll be damn proud when you do. As you should be.
NAVIGATION & COURSE INFO
Study your route ahead of time. Pay attention to Aid Stations, technical descents, singletrack entries, and more.
All routes have signage at tricky intersections, turns, and all singletrack sectors.
Gravel and single track sections and turns are marked — but please download the course just in case.
Please do not drive on the course, and please be respectful to rural locals out on the roads. You may give food and drink to your rider, but ONLY at official aid stations.
ROAD CROSSINGS & SAFETY
To build what we believe are the best VG courses ever, we included a few small state highway crossings.
These are not closed roads — you must obey all traffic laws.
Blowing stop signs, cutting blind corners, or riding wide across the road cresting a climb is not just reckless — it puts others at risk.
We want you celebrating safely at the finish line — don’t ruin that for yourself or anyone else.
COURSE ETIQUETTE
Wave.
Be courteous.
Respect everyone on course — we don’t own these roads or trails.
Village Gravel runs on the ethos: kindness, community, and respect.
If that’s not your vibe, VG is not your place.
If it is — you’re family.
TIME LIMIT
We ask all riders to finish within 10 hours for safety and support reasons. Please plan accordingly.
