Tour de Gravelly is a gravel race on July 17, 2027 in Ennis, MT, with entry fees from $90 to $100.
From the Organizer
The Tour de Gravelly (The Beast) is a high-altitude, 60.7-mile Gravel Grinder that traverses up and over the Gravelly mountain range into the Ruby Valley. Racers will boast a total ascent of over 7,600 feet, peaking at Monument Ridge. By the finish, the records will show a net ascent of nearly 1,200 feet. The “up” is front-loaded in the course, making for a lightening fast, white-knuckler into the approach to Vigilante Cabin. While seemingly standing still on the climb, enjoy the wildlife, scenery, and geology of The Last Best Place. The inaugural year was 2017, and the best is yet to come as we draw from a broader, badass clientele.
The Beast course is public on Garmin: https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/506769499

Prizes are awarded to the first and second place male and female finishers. Please stay for the after-party at Vigilante Cabin (https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234361) – your legs will deserve some rest and relaxation.
