The ride is a self-supported endurance gravel road event that takes you through some of the most beautiful clay roads in the country - maybe even the world! Thomasville is home to over 300 miles of clay roads in the interconnecting Red Hills Region that covers over 300,000 acres. You will need a phone with a "Ride With GPS" type app or a GPS device to navigate the route properly. There will be no markings or directions on the route. Revel in the complete gravel adventure at your own pace whether it be race pace, party pace, or a site seeing social pace (though recognition will be given to the fastest finishers).
