Le Grand du Nord Gravel Classic

Sat May 24, 2025 Grand Marais, MN 55604 US Directions

Le Grand 100 Mile

Welcome to the 2025 Le Grand du Nord Gravel Classic!

110 Mile: With 6000 ft of climbing and a decidedly remote feel, the 110 mile course is unlike any other gravel century. Most of the course is well maintained Forest Service and county gravel road. There is a 5 mile section of especially rough, rocky two track with a likely stream crossing (depending on the weather and local beaver activity.)

Thank you for bringing your Graveleer spirit to the event. We welcome all and encourage you to be respectful visitors to this amazing community of Grand Marais. And please say hello to someone new during the weekend. Who knows, maybe it's their first rodeo. Thank you! 

You may change your event distance until May 1.

Le Grand 50 Mile

Welcome to the 2025 Le Grand du Nord Gravel Classic!

50 Mile: 2600 ft of climbing. The same remote feel as the 110 miler. Mostly well maintained Forest Service and county gravel road. Hilly but there are no two track/B-Road sections. One of my favorite routes of all time.

Le Grand 26 Mile

Welcome to the 2025 Le Grand du Nord Gravel Classic!
