High, rough, and lonesome.

The Bighorn Gravel race on June 22, 2025, offers ultra-endurance cyclists a rugged challenge through Colorado's remote alpine terrain. Starting in Gypsum, riders will face over 10,000 feet of elevation gain across 85 miles of mixed surfaces, combining sweeping forest service roads, technical singletrack, and demanding climbs. Designed to test both fitness and fortitude, this self-supported event emphasizes adventure, resilience, and the wild beauty of the high Rockies.

The Ram’s Horn Escape is the feature course, rolling out from Gypsum through the White River National Forest. Riders will cover 85 miles of mixed gravel and dirt, tackle over 10,000 feet of climbing—including hike-a-bike segments—and descend technical stretches, all while navigating remote and scenic landscapes.
