The inaugural Millstream Gravel Cup brings together two premier events over one unforgettable weekend:

  • Sunday, September 6 – Iowa Gravel Time Trial Championship
  • Monday, September 7 – Iowa Gravel Road Race Championship

Each event will award official USA Cycling state championship medals and trophies to top finishers.

Compete in both events to qualify for the Omnium Competition—your chance to claim the coveted Millstream Gravel Cup and a share of over $6,000 in prize money. Omnium standings will be determined by combined finishing positions across both races. If you are wanting to compete in the Omnium be sure to register in same category for both the Time Trial and the Road Race. If entering Masters age group, be sure to select the correct road race distance to be included in the Omnium.

The Gravel Road Race is part of the Iowa Gravel Series, with results contributing to the overall series points standings.

Not looking to race? See a road race distance you’d like to ride that isn’t included in the Omnium? Then join the Fondo option and ride at your own pace—enjoy the course, the scenery, and the experience without the pressure of competition. 

Expect a course featuring rolling terrain, punchy climbs, and stunning views just northeast of Amana. Full course details coming soon.
