99 Miles of Bad Road Gravel Race

99 Miles of Bad Road is a gravel bicycle race starting and ending in Hardy, Arkansas.  Expect every road surface type, with roughly 80% being unpaved.  Don't let the elevation profile fool you - Devices have picked up 100 feet or more of elevation gain per mile. These are relentless rolling hills with an occasional punchy climb or chunky descent.  Everything from mud, dirt, gravel, concrete bridges, clay, crushed limestone, creek rocks, broken pavement, and more.  This route earns it's name.  This is an ‘odd year’ so we will be running the loops counter-clockwise! Make sure you download the ODD YEAR files.

There are TWO aid stations on the 56 miler & THREE on the 99 Route.

Starting in 2027 the 199'ers are officially a ‘no crew/support’ category. You can receive things from Road Angels and strangers.

All finishers will receive a cool memento! Top 3 in each category will receive a unique custom award. We have three route options - 56, 99, and 199 miles.

--------------

-All three distances of this race are loop routes that start and end at Loberg Park in Hardy, Arkansas.  Camping is available at the campground next door to the park.  We have nothing to do with that, you'll have to reserve with them here if you wish to camp: https://www.campspot.com/park/hardy-campground-rv-park

-Unless there are tornadoes, large hail, or extreme thunderstorms the day of the race, we will not cancel.  Put your big boy/girl pants on, and ride!

-You are solely responsible for your own safety.

- Despite the risk of people tampering with arrows/flagging, we WILL mark the 56 mile course this year, well enough in advance to prevent timing issues. This does mean that some markers could be moved or taken down by people, so you must make sure you have the right GPX file on your phone, watch, or computer. You are responsible for studying the route maps and navigating.  That's half the fun!
