Walla Walla Grit

IT’S UNPAVED
No highways, no traffic, and no one even thinking about bringing their road bikes to this rodeo– the Grit has one of the best gravel-to-road ratios you’ll find in the Pacific Northwest gravel scene. You might not see a single car after rollout.

IT'S UNFORGIVING
You can take it as a challenge to find the perfect bike, or a challenge to be the most under-biked. Regardless, these climbs will make you thankful for every extra gear and millimeter of tire width you have.

IT’S UNFORGETTABLE
Is it a race, or a ride? It could go either way, and every course attracts both kinds of riders. Regardless of your approach, race day will be three to nine hours of just you, your bike, stunning views of the Walla Walla Valley, and many tables of food.

Choose from three course options - Bambino (45mi), Medio (65mi), or Grande (95mi). Each brings ~100ft of climbing per mile, and each includes local climbs of fame that are sure to test your bike and your personal grit.
