More Tips & Details:

  • Gravel-ready bikes are recommended.  
  • All riders should have self-supported cycling & bike repair skills, and carry water, food, and other supplies needed for the ride. 
  • Supported with limited aide stations.
  • 84-mile Race Participants:  There will be cut-off times at each aide station and will be responsible for route navigation. 
  • Food and drink will be available to spectators in exchange for a donation to Ozark Greenways. 
  • Proceeds go to the trail’s maintenance. 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:  We’re looking for a few kind folks to help hand out drinks, food, and moral support at our five aide stations — as well as hand out food, beer, and prizes at the finishline area. Our two main volunteer shifts are: 6:30am-1pm, and 1pm-5:30pm, although we’re flexible on this if you’re only able to help part of the time.
