Description
Gravel
Distance - 100, 60, and 30 miles
The Driftless 100 (previously the Volga City 105) is a hilly gravel race through Clayton County, Iowa that features beautiful landscape in one of Iowa's best kept secrets. There are 10,000 feet of climbing in the 100 mile race, yes, this race is in Iowa. The race is designed to showcase the Driftless region of the state and push even the most savy gravel rider. Over 90% of the race is on limestone gravel with about 5% on pavement and 5% on level b/c roads. It is not designed to be a mud fest but this is Iowa in April so it could be sloppy. If you are looking for an event to train for this winter, I promise this race will test you. If you want a carrot, a Driftless branding Iron is awarded to any rider who finishes the course in under 8 hours. You do have to follow the official course and receive aid only at the aid stations to earn this award.
