About this race

Welcome to The Heck of the North Gravel Classic! 

The Heck of the North is the event that started it all. We are offering 105, 54 and 19 mile distance options this year. 

Please know that all of these events are challenging and do include sections that are rough, sometimes hike-a bike, and may be above beginner level skills. This is what the Heck of the North was designed to do. It's a true gravel classic and has garnished an extremely loyal following. We look forward to having you be part of the Heck experience! 

Give it a go. Be Graveleer. You may find that it's just the type of event you were looking for. 

Ride the Good Line!
