Conquer rugged Vermont gravel for a rare cause—ride with purpose!

Experience a grassroots gravel adventure like no other in the heart of Vermont. The Vermont Rare Gravel Ride, happening October 4, 2025, in Peru, VT, is more than just a challenging ride—it’s a spirited gathering supporting Vermont Rare and the rare disease community.

Finish the day with a festive Mexican feast and live music, celebrating both the ride and the impact you make.
