 As of now, the race is still on as scheduled.  We plan to make a final decision by the middle of May.  If we have to cancel the race you will have the option of a refund, registration carried over until next year, or your entry being donated to the Homles County Trail.

Here are the much-anticipated details on the 10th Funk Bottoms Gravel course.  We will start at the Glenmont Park Due to social distancing and keep everyone spaced out the 200K racers will start at 7:00 am and the 100K racers will start 8:00 am sharp on Saturday, June 13th.

Course Notes, GPX file, and Cue Sheet

The course will be marked the day before with color-coded turns.  All Starboard turns will have green signs and all Port turns will have red signs. Think like a pirate as you navigate the gravel seas of Ohio.  There will also be arrows painted on the ground before turns. 

As usual, the course will be a mix of previously used roads and new roads. This is an epic course for the 10th Funk Bottoms Gravel. 

For the numbers geeks, here is some data from this year's course. There will be 18 sections that are not gravel for a total of 9.5 miles. To make up for all the pavement there will only be 5.59 flat miles.
