Experience the unique charm and rugged beauty of Upland Hills Farm on Saturday, August 1, 2026. The De Ronde van Grampian (DRvG) is part of the Michigan Gravel Race Series and promises an unforgettable adventure through the rolling hills and scenic landscapes of Oakland County. Race organizers Epic Race Timing will ensure a seamless event with precise timing and efficient logistics. Fuel your journey at Tacos Te AMO or Maestro Chef, both serving up delicious food options. Savor your coffee from Wee Bean Coffee Co., setting the perfect pace for your ride. The DRvG offers three distinct courses—Mini (13 miles), Short (32 miles), and Long (52 miles)—each offering its own unique challenge and beauty. The Mini course, p/b Donato Landscape, is a thrilling introduction to Michigan gravel with 897 feet of climbing in a fast loop that takes you through Barr Road and the Grampian highlands before reaching the highest point in Oakland County at 1,250 ft on Drahner Road. The Short course, p/b Erskin Law, raises the stakes with 2,021 feet of climbing. This route extends your journey deeper into northern Michigan's gravel terrain, offering expansive views along Lake George before challenging you with a mix of singletrack and sandy roads that test both endurance and handling skills. For those seeking the ultimate challenge, the Long course, p/b Gould Contracting, LLC, is an epic 52 miles packed with 3,123 feet of climbing. This route takes you on endless rollers through remote sections of Oakland and Lapeer County gravel, pushing your limits to the brink before the final stretch into Bald Mountain North singletrack. All courses start and finish at Upland Hills Farm (481 Lake George Rd, Oxford, MI 48370), providing a sense of community and camaraderie among participants. P39 Adventure Gear will give away one lucky winner a free X-Vault Bike Cover valued at $495. With marked routes, .gpx files, and on-site bike mechanical support, the DRvG aims to provide an exceptional runner experience. Registration includes swag and food from Dos Locos burritos, ensuring you stay fueled and energized throughout your journey. Safety is paramount. The Upland Hills section of each course can only be accessed during the event; no pre-riding is allowed due to private land restrictions. Violators will face legal consequences for trespassing. Volunteers are needed for setup, registration, course marshaling, and aid station support. Sign up here! The DRvG reserves the right to delay or cancel if inclement weather or unsafe race conditions arise. Helmets must be ANSI/Snell approved. Join us on this memorable day as we celebrate classic Michigan gravel racing with escalating difficulty levels that will challenge even the most seasoned riders. Every finish is a testament to your strength and determination.

About Oxford
Learn more about the host city, Oxford.
Oxford is the oldest university city in the United Kingdom, some 50 miles (80 km) to the west of the capital London in its own county of Oxfordshire, on the rivers Thames and Cherwell. Together with Cambridge, Oxford has long represented the English academic establishment and elite ("Oxbridge"), a haven of tradition and endeavour. Oxford's famous "Dreaming Spires" refer to the medieval churches and colleges that dominate the bustling modern town in all their Gothic splendour. Picturesque architecture and a vibrant modern life, driven by students, light industry and technology, all set in the rolling countryside of Oxfordshire, make this a great destination.
