Dust Bowl 100 presented by Zipp is a road cycling race on July 23–24, 2027 in Eminence, IN, with entry fees from $80 to $110.
This is Indiana: Farm fields stretching to the horizon, dotted with silhouettes of barns and intersected by miles of lightly traveled gravel roads. Century-old covered bridges crossing serene streams. Beautiful wooded oases offering shelter from the July sun. Hills (yes, Hills!) that will wake the legs and burn the lungs (but not for too long, because remember, this is Indiana). And a handful of small towns where you’ll be greeted by a wave and a smile as you pass through.
The Dust Bowl 100 presented by Zipp is meant to celebrate all this. Four distances are available (100 miles, 63 miles, 44 miles, and the all-new 308 mile Deluxe!), so whether you're a seasoned cyclist seeking a new and compelling challenge or an adventurous spirit eager to explore Indiana’s backroads on two wheels, we invite you to be a part of this journey with us.
Oh, and about the Dust Bowl name? Let’s just say it can be pretty dry around these parts in late summer. But it could also be rainy, or damp, or chilly, or absolutely beautiful. Remember, this is Indiana!
2027 is year #7 of Indiana’s Premier Gravel Race! The 2026 race sold out in January, so sign up now to ensure you can Get Dusty with us this July!
