What people are saying

The event was well run. The course was excellent. The parking was easy. Overall it was just an easy and stress free way to race bikes. To me the Iowa Gravel Series events are like all the best parts of gravel. Low key and grass roots. The quality of the field at the front of the race was as good as any race I’ve done.

Curtis
Small scale race atmosphere, well organized, welcoming to new riders as well as seasoned racers, great vibe!
Jeb

Well run event on all fronts – I see a lot of gravel setups and this is run like a top.

Adam

This race was amazing, from the race director to all the volunteers that helped, I had a blast. Course was great. Fast and the weather was perfect!!

Brad

Organization and route was excellent, same as all other Iowa Gravel Series events. Perfect distance with a challenging route. The timing stickers are my favorite that I’ve used for an event.

Clark

This race is so great! It is well organized, a great course with such a great variety of terrain, clearly marked, and has aid stations and the perfect spots!
