Gravel Day is back for the second year! Hundreds of Riders, Volunteers and Supporters gathered in Nelsonville, Ohio, to experience the inaugural Gravel Day experience, and it was incredible. Watch this 2023 recap video to see highlights – and get ready for 2024!
The 2024 event offers the same three route options. Routes ride through the stunning landscape of Athens County in Southeast Ohio, each sharing the same start and finish location.
