Race Description

 

Rev3Endurance Bryce Conquer the Mountain 32 Mile Gravel Grinder Race.  This event will challenge all gravel riders with two major climbs during the race.  The first climb takes place after the 2 mile warm up for all riders.  The riders will get to experience some fantastic gravel roads in Virginia and West Virginia during this event. This event will contain over 70% gravel roads and two major hill climbs.  This event will be hosted out of Bryce Resort.  Each rider will get a map, race shirt, two aid station stops (6 & 25 mile locations) and a Oktoberfest beverage in the Copper Kettle post ride. 

 

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, October 17, 2021, at check-in at the Main Lodge at Bryce Resort. Look for the REV3Endurance flags! Parking will be walking distance from the race HQ in the main parking lot at the Resort.
