Distances: 50, 100 km
Difficulty: Difficult terrain with longer, steeper hills

Sure you can grind with the best of them, but are you the best?

The 2023 Unravel is improved from feedback we received from our 2022 participants. More gravel and a longer course that will incorporate a combination of trails, gravel, fire road and rural roadways. And it’s an RVA Racing event with course designed by our friends at Outpost Richmond - which means “Guaranteed Gut-Punching Gravel”

PARKING: TBD

CAMPING: Available through the park reservation systems at https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/

ABOUT THE COURSE: we have a 31.4 mile course with ~2,344' of elevation gain each lap mapped out by our friends at Outpost. And those boyos know a thing or two about back-country gravel. We will start out in the park and use mostly county gravel roads with some trail and creek crossings. No two ways about it, this is Gravel Grinding at its finest and you're gonna work for this one! 

COURSE MAP: Coming soon!

DISTANCES: Please note that distances may vary slightly from the ones listed below as we finalize plans with park and county.
