Nestled in the serene landscapes of St. Charles, Iowa, the Spotted Horse Gravel Ultra 2025 is more than a race; it is an odyssey through the picturesque terrains and unadulterated beauty of South Central Iowa. It is produced by Relentless Events and is considered one of the Best Gravel Cycling Events in the Midwest.
What makes Spotted Horse Gravel Ultra 2025 truly unique is its self-supported nature, challenging participants not just physically but also mentally, inviting them to navigate through rural gravel and dirt roads, starting and finishing at the scenic Madison County Winery. Participants can choose from three distinct distances—35, 70, or the ultra 175 miles. Whether a novice to the ultra-distance or a seasoned pro, this race provides an eclectic mix of terrains and conditions, from buff dirt roads under clear skies to challenging gravel in the crisp fall rain, offering a spectrum of challenges and memories in the making. This is a limited-field event, and registration typically opens in early May.
