The Griffin Triple Scoop Race, set for October 10, 2026, invites cyclists to experience the unique challenge of combining road, gravel, and mountain biking into one exhilarating day. This year marks its fifth anniversary, offering a diverse route that promises an unforgettable adventure. Starting at 9:40 am with a race meeting at Griffin Bike Park, located on Bono Rd in Terre Haute, Indiana, the event spans approximately 30 miles of road, 25 miles of gravel, and between 12 to 15 miles of singletrack. The course is carefully curated to provide an authentic test of endurance, versatility, and technical skill. This year’s route has been refreshed in collaboration with Griffin Bike Park and the Vigo County Parks Department. New roads and scenic routes await road cyclists, while gravel enthusiasts will enjoy fresh paths that offer a mix of urban and rural landscapes. The mountain bike portion features two laps around the park's renowned trail system, showcasing its hidden gems. Solo racers can expect a day filled with diverse challenges. While some may opt to ride one bike throughout (advised against due to limited space), others will switch bikes in the transition village, overseen by race directors and volunteers. This area transforms into a vibrant hub of activity, complete with team tents where supporters gather to cheer on their teammates. For those preferring a more collaborative approach, relay teams can split disciplines among members, creating an engaging experience that extends beyond just racing. The multi-lap format ensures every participant has the chance to enjoy and conquer each segment at their own pace. Carpooling is highly recommended due to limited parking in the transition village, which will serve as both a start line tunnel and finish area for all racers. Participants are encouraged to bring pop-up tents, umbrellas, chairs, and coolers to make this event more than just racing – it’s an outdoor festival. The race remains free of entry fees, making it accessible while supporting local organizations like Griffin Bike Park and World Bicycle Relief Indiana. Donations can be made during the event or through provided links on their websites. For those looking to extend their adventure before the big day, camping at Fowler Park is a fantastic option. Join in for a casual campfire hangout with fellow cyclists who share your passion. The Triple Scoop Race promises not only an outstanding cycling experience but also a celebration of community and support. Whether you’re competing or simply enjoying the ride, this event offers something special that cannot be found elsewhere.
