Grind for Veterans - 250th Anniversary Edition

About the Event

Experience an unforgettable mixed road and gravel loop race, starting on smooth pavement for just 3 miles before transitioning into a dynamic mix of surfaces. This unique course challenges both seasoned and casual cyclists with its blend of gravel paths, cart roads, and double tracks—each section presenting varying levels of difficulty and terrain.
Both the "A" and "B" routes begin at the same point on the road, ensuring fair competition from the start. The B route offers a more manageable experience by skipping some of the tougher sections found in its longer counterpart. Regardless of your chosen path, navigation will require keen attention to GPS guidance as course markers are limited.
Fuel up with your own supplies; convenience stores are not available along the route. A single water stop and restroom facility await at Washington State Forest Campground on the "A" route, providing a brief respite for those who need it most.
Race day registration kicks off early in the Whitinsville Community Center Front Lobby from 7 AM to ensure you're well-prepared. Don't forget your contact information: Race Day support can be reached at Stephen's number—508-341-3860.
Post-race, enjoy a cookout and social gathering hosted by the community. Contributions are welcome and will benefit local veterans and the Whitinsville Community Center. The event concludes with a festive atmosphere in the bandstand located atop the hill near the Whitinsville Community Center, offering a perfect spot to celebrate your achievements or simply relax with family and friends.
