DETAILS
The race will start and finish at Mad River Glen Ski Resort. The course contains 70% dirt roads. Gritus features some tame double track sections that will feel adventurous and a couple of hefty climbs. The short course is 50 miles with 7,000 feet of climbing and the long course is 75 miles with 10,000 feet of climbing. There are some adventurous roads. Cyclists are responsible for navigating the course. There will be two water stops on the course. Entrants will receive Endurance Society swag and finishers will receive a pint glass. A unique award will be presented for the top 3 males and females.
This event is self-navigated and there will be no arrows on the course. We recommend Ride with GPS phone App but we'll also provide a cue sheet.
The course will be released a few days before the event.
All participants will receive Chili with cornbread and a vegan option at the finish. The venue will also be selling food and refreshments for friends and family at the base. We look forward to enjoying a gorgeous day and hope you'll join us.
