The AlKEMist Gravel Fest
About this race
The AlKemist Gravel Fest — October 4, 2025 | Mandan, North Dakota
Brewed for the Bold. Born on Gravel.
The AlKemist Gravel Fest was first brewed up in 2018 after exploring some of the most rugged and rewarding gravel roads in Morton County, North Dakota. Now it’s one of the region’s most anticipated fall gravel races — bringing together cyclists who crave challenge, community, and an unbeatable view.
Start your adventure at Graner Park / Sugarloaf Bottoms, just south of Mandan, ND, where you’ll climb out of the Missouri River Valley and onto the bluffs of Morton County. Every mile serves up fast descents, minimum-maintenance roads, and some of the longest climbs in the region — all balanced by wide-open prairie skies and unforgettable scenery.
When the dust settles, join us for post-race awards, hot food fresh off the grill, and a celebration worthy of the miles you’ve conquered.
The The AlKEMist Gravel Fest brings an exciting Ultra, 48.3K to Mandan, North Dakota on October 3, 2026. Don't miss this beautiful event!
