The Rasputitsa (Gravel)

The Northeast's Earliest Spring Classic

With a field limit of 500 riders, this 45 mile unsanctioned gravel road race covers some of the most cold and barren landscapes of Vermont. 

Welcome to Cyberia

The Rasputitsa is a unique 45 mile unsanctioned gravel road race with a challenging section we call Cyberia.  This section almost 1 mile in length turns this race into a real competition of strength and endurance.

What happens in this forested section is legendary and tales of Yeti sightings and maple syrup shots are told and re-told.

Spring in Vermont

The beauty of this race is spring in Vermont really translates to: you never know what you're going to get.

Tire selection and bike selection for that matter remain questions until the bitter end.  We've seen temperatures in the 60s.  We've seen -10 degrees.

But regardless of the weather, we show you a good time with a huge offering of food, drink, and live music at the finish line.

Registration is $50 until the end of November, $75 before February 1 and $100 after that.
