2025 Funk Bottoms Gravel Results

Here are the results for the 15th Funk Bottoms Gravel held on Saturday, June 14 2025.  Other than 15 minutes of a light sprinkle the weather held up nicely for the day.  Started out cool in the morning and sunny an 90's in the afternoon.  


The winners of the day is everyone that showed up and raced, enjoyed some cold Yuengling, pulled pork from Buckeye Deli, and quality time with our Gravel Family.  



The BIG LOSERS of the day were the 38% that registered but did not show up.  You missed a great course, Free Yuengling, and Free Food!

15th Funk Bottoms Gravel The Route

For the 15th edition of Funk Bottoms Gravel we have made another amazing route.  There will be over 18 miles on new roads never ridden in previous versions. That makes 15 years and 15 different routes.  There will be 11.7 miles of pavement in 10 sections, 82% of the route will be gravel. Just like the previous years there will be one secret checkpoint on the route along with a small town where you will be able to purchase food. 

Here are the details for the 15th Funk Bottoms Gravel on June 14, 2025. Important course notes with sections of this year's route where you need to pay extra attention to navigation and safety. Once again this year the 200K will start at 7:00 am, and the 100K will start at 8:00 am.  The starting location is Glenmont Park.

The course will be marked the day before with color-coded turns.  Think like a pirate as you navigate the gravel seas of Ohio. All Starboard turns will have green signs, and all Port turns will have red signs. Fluorescent Green arrows will be painted on the route to help assist with your navigation. Course markings may be removed or damaged by race morning.  Use your cue sheet, it is accurate.

   

Full details on the route can be found on the Course Maps page.  I will update course notes or make changes if needed.


Want to learn about how Funk Bottoms started?  Check out the History page which has maps and results for all the previous year's. 




Note the Garmin route will have additional cues embedded in the GPX file to display on your Garmin device.

15th Funk Bottoms Gravel June 14, 2025

 


Registration for the 15th Funk Bottoms Gravel will open December 1, 2024, https://www.bikereg.com/funk-bottoms-gravel-100201



The 15th edition of the Funk Bottoms Gravel will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, in Glenmont, OH. The 200K will start at 7:00 am and the 100K will start at 8:00 am.

This year there will be a limit of 100 racers for the Men's 100K and Men's Masters 100K. There will be no registration limits for Women, Single Speed, or the 200K. 

Funk Bottoms Gravel will once again challenge cyclists to Ohio’s Toughest Gravel Grinder. As usual, we have come up with an exceptional course this year. Two races, one brutal course! A one-lap 100K race and a double-lap 200K race for the ultimate challenge. The course will take riders along some of Ohio’s most scenic backcountry roads. On each lap, riders will be challenged with over 7,000 feet of vertical climbing! The 200K race is an Ohio epic. It is a relentless and grueling climber’s course.

The Funk Bottoms Gravel 100K/200K is a self-supported event and riders must be prepared for any mechanical and nutritional needs. No outside support is allowed. The course will go through small towns so you can resupply with food and water. Our good friends at Hammer Nutrition will again be providing support with Hammer Fuels before the race, and at the secret checkpoint. Be prepared to ride 25-30 miles between water stops

Road conditions are a mix of paved, chip & seal, and 80% gravel & dirt roads.  Details on this year's course with maps, cue sheets, and GPX files will be posted in May. Keeping with Funk Bottoms tradition of not using the same route each year. This year’s race will be an entirely new course incorporating various roads from previous years along with some new sections.  Funk Bottoms Gravel is a cue sheet race. The roads are open to normal traffic in the area.  Expect to encounter cars, trucks, horses, buggies, farm equipment, ATV’s, buzzards, road kill, and the occasional farm dog at any given time. Rain or shine, it’s Funk time!

 


Registration will be $40 until April 30th, $50 after May 1st, and $60 after June 1st.  All racers who register before May 31st will receive a T-Shirt.  Racers who enter the 200K will be eligible to earn points for the Ohio Gravel Race Series.  Registration will close on Friday, June 6, 2025, and there will be no race day registration. 

 

The winners of each category will receive a custom trophy and a case of Yuengling beer. There will be awards for the Top 3 in  Men’s 100K open,  Men’s 100K Masters, Woman's 100K open, Woman’s 100K Masters, 100K Single Speed, Men’s 200K open, Men’s 200K Masters, Woman's 200K open, Woman’s 200K Masters and 200K Single Speed. 

The Funk Bottoms Gravel the 200K will start at 7:00 am and the 100K will start at 8:00 am sharp at Glenmont Park 108 Main Street, Glenmont, OH   44628.

A portion of this year’s proceeds will be donated to the Holmes County Rails-to-Trails Coalition.
