About the Event

Discover the raw, untamed spirit of grassroots gravel riding at a lovingly crafted and challenging adventure that straddles the border of Georgia and Alabama: the Homegrown Gravel on 28th February 2026. Born from years of exploration, this event showcases the distinct character of Southern backcountry gravel, with meticulously plotted loops split evenly between Georgia's meandering ridgeline trails and Alabama's more direct, plunging creek-crossing routes. Riders can choose from four distances—a 20-mile or 40-mile gravel ride, or a competitive 62-mile or 100-mile gravel race—each offering a true test of endurance, bike handling, and mental fortitude on demanding, un-corporatized terrain.

More than just a race, Homegrown embodies the independent, gritty ethos of early gravel grinding, fostering a deep sense of community and shared adventure. The event supports local causes through its proceeds and culminates in a celebratory after-party, solidifying its reputation as a homespun classic. Secure your registration for a late-February escape where every dusty mile tells a story of the land and the riders bold enough to explore it.
