Waukon 100

All of the rides on the Iowa Gravel Series are friendly to new and experienced riders; but Waukon and Allamakee county might surprise you. Each corner of Iowa is unique, but the “driftless” roads North of Waukon and East of Decorah are some of the best we’ve experienced. Mother nature has created an amazing series of long valleys and steep ridges. But, if you plan it just right (and we think we’ve got something good), you can spend the day exploring all the beauty of the Upper Iowa River and Waterloo river bottoms in the way God intended… on a gravel bike.

Make no mistake, there’s a bit more climbing in Waukon than the Silver City race, but it’s absolutely worth it.

What people are saying

Amazing course. The starting point was really beautiful. Very challenging hills. I thought aid station 2 could’ve been somewhere shaded but other than that, no real suggestions for improvement.
Kurt

Beautiful route, challenging, good mix of hills and flats. Great grassroots vibe. Enjoyed the meal and hanging out afterwards.

Mary
Route was spectacular! Some of the most beautiful parts of Iowa in an approachable, yet very challenging route.
Clark
Well organized. Beautiful, challenging course. Great “Iowa” feel. Punctual and friendly. the Series Director obviously cares about ALL the riders, not just the top few. Great and plentiful aid stations. Just a fun but tough day in the saddle. Loved the course changes!!
Jon
It was refreshing to go to an event that wasn’t crazy expensive but still delivered a great experience. Marked course was great. Amazes me how many other race directors skip this. Whoever decided on the number plates killed it. Food to follow was a perfect way to end the race! Also, very cool to have top three get entry fee reimbursed and jersey as a prize.
Derek
The course is phenomenal, every mile of this course is first class, rarely do all the elements come together to make a 100k ride a gravel riders dream, but this one has the magic. The gravel is perfect, the scenery spectacular, and volunteers are super, Thank-you. I’m hoping to return year after year. Lastly, this race is expertly run by a wonderful race director who is so considerate, everyone has a first rate experience, from the front of the pack to the very last rider, made to feel welcome and supported. I also liked the chip timing, superb.
