Experience the thrill of The Gravel Roll, returning to Walhalla for its inaugural event in 2026. This mountain gravel race promises an exhilarating ride through rugged and scenic terrain, offering challenges that will test even the most seasoned cyclists. The course is designed with a mix of smooth crushed stone sections and chunky trails, providing a true taste of what riding on U.S. Forest Service roads feels like. Participants can expect some particularly swoopy stretches where they'll want to let loose and enjoy the ride. For the more ambitious riders out there, The Boss Holler offers an 83-mile journey with over 7900 feet in elevation gain—quite a challenge but undoubtedly rewarding for those seeking adventure. Meanwhile, The Big Holler (63 miles) and The Little Holler (51 miles), both intermediate routes, provide ample opportunities to soak up the atmosphere without breaking your stride. After the race, head over to Walhalla Depot where you can unwind with local craft beers and indulge in delicious food from nearby trucks. Enjoy camaraderie among fellow cyclists as you share stories of your day's exploits.
