Nasty Pulaski Gravel Grind
A Leg-Quivering Adventure through the Ozarks
October 7, 2023
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 Saturday, Oct. 7.
65-MILES OF GRAVEL CYCLING
Nasty Pulaski’s signature course loops through 65 miles of Pulaski County’s rustic backroads. More than 4,400 feet of elevation changes throughout the course challenge your endurance while stunning riverside views and multiple stream crossings provide in-race rewards. This course will be one of the most satisfying finishes you will ever experience.
If you’re up for a smaller taste of adventure, try the 25-mile gravel grind — still a rugged, scenic ride, but with less of a commitment.
RUN, WALK, & RUCK AT THE FROG HILL HALF MARATHON!
Choose 6.2 or 13.1 miles of fun in the Ozarks during the Frog Hill Half Marathon and a chance to conquer Superior Hill! Warm up with the Leap Frog 5K and receive an additional medal! A variety of activities are designed to fit any athletic ability, whether you’re just starting out or seasoned and seeking a challenge. Complete the 5K on Friday, then the 10K or half on Saturday to get an extra medal and complete the challenge. This is a great two-day fitness event for all, from strollers to marathon runners!
