The Melting Mann Gravel Race, set for March 20, 2027, in Vandalia, offers cyclists three distinct distances: the challenging 58-mile route and a more manageable 39-mile course, both featuring technical gravel terrain. For those seeking a shorter adventure, there's also a competitive 24-mile option. Each distance includes various categories such as Athena, Clydesdale, tandem teams, and single-speed bikes, with qualifying speeds for awards clearly defined. Competitors can choose from men’s, women’s, fat tire, and vintage bike divisions to find the perfect fit for their riding style. The event also accommodates casual riders through non-competitive categories that welcome all cyclists regardless of speed or equipment type.
