Come Conquer the Giant!
Welcome to the Ossian Giant Gravel Grinder: a 32 mile race on seasonal use gravel roads! Originally set in the fall, this year we are holding it in the spring and joining with the Prattsburg Gravel Classic and the Finger Lakes Gravel Challenge to form the Mudslinger Gravel Series for 2016!
This page is for the Ossian Giant Gravel Grinder only, if you’d like to be eligible for the 3 race series prizes, you only need to sign up on the Mudslinger Gravel Series page.
For this event, and the other events in this series, we strongly recommend cyclocross, gravel, or mountain bikes due to the more technical nature of these events compared to the average road race.
Sign up for updates on our Facebook page. We’ll have news about sponsors and vendors at the race. You won’t want to miss this event, even if you’re just hanging out at the finish line.
