Nasty Pulaski Gravel Grind
A Leg-Quivering Adventure through the Ozarks
October 5, 2024
Twisting, winding, dipping, rising... The remarkable Ozarks topography in Pulaski County challenges cyclists from across the country at the Nasty Pulaski Gravel Grind, a leg-quivering bicycle race that promises stunning views of dramatic landscapes. Courses snake, careen, climb, plunge, and play hide-and-seek as they duel with the rugged terrain. This year, the Nasty Pulaski Gravel Grind will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5.
83-MILES OF GRAVEL CYCLING
The Nasty Pulaski event offers 3 route options! Nasty Pulaski’s signature course the Full Nasty, loops through 83 miles of Pulaski County’s rustic back roads. More than 5,500 feet of elevation changes throughout the course challenge your endurance with stunning riverside views and multiple stream crossings that provide in-race rewards. This course will be one of the most satisfying finishes you will ever experience.
Or challenge yourself with the Half Nasty, 44 miles of elevations up to 2,800, or the 25-mile Mini Nasty, both are still rugged, scenic rides, but with less of a commitment than the Full Nasty.
Wrap up the day at the Fall Festival with great food, fun music, and fireworks at dusk!
