Register NOW for The Dirty Mitten Gravel Bike Race

The Dirty Mitten Gravel Bike Race is one of Michigan’s Premier gravel challenges and a great early fall race; part of The Dirty Mitten DirtFest Weekend!

The gravel bike race on Saturday September 23 offers three courses of 10, 28 and 50 miles for riders of all abilities.

The gravel bike race is part of The Dirty Mitten DirtFest Weekend which includes, the Gravel Triathlon World Championship of the Universe on Sunday, September 24 with Short, Half and Long Triathlons, Relays, Aquabike and Duathlon.

The race starts and ends at the YMCA’s Camp Manitou-Lin in Middleville, Mich. Situated halfway between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, it’s a convenient venue for just about all of West Michigan so you have no excuse not to come out!

The newbie-friendly 10 mile route goes east of the camp and is a perfect introductory ride for ANYONE looking to get into gravel. All bikes welcome, you don’t need a gravel bike!

The two longer routes go west of the camp. The 28-mile lollipop route goes west of the camp and is a great ride for beginner riders or anyone looking for a decent challenge but not ready for the long course yet.

The 50 mile longer loop route goes west and south of the camp and is perfect for riders looking for more of a challenge.

For the more competitive riders, there are awards for the top three male and female in 10-year age groups and open division.
