Meramec Gravel 2026 is THIS Saturday!! Be sure to get registered at https://www.bikereg.com/meramec-gravel ASAP!
On Friday, September 18th, our pre-race registration event will be at Bourbon Cyclery from 5pm-9pm. Pick up your registration packets, meet fellow cyclists, enjoy Muddy Banks b**r, good food, camaraderie, and watch the annual Bourbon Fall Festival Parade at 6pm, right behind the store!
On Saturday, check-in will open around 6:30 at the Starting Line on Elm St., with rollout at about 8am. This year, there will be no chip timing. Bib numbers will be specific to each category, with top finishers noted in order of finish and GPS data verified to confirm winners! Make sure you have the correct route loaded if you plan to rely on GPS.
Routes will be thoroughly marked with signs (thanks to Versa-Tags) and painted arrows where possible.
All routes will have water stops/checkpoints.
- Fun Ride will have 1 water stop at about Mile 5.5
- 50k will have 3 water stops and 1 C-Store. Water stops located at Mile 5, Mile 12.5, and Mile 28.5, with a Mobil station at Mile 22.5
- 100k will have 4 water stops and 1 C-Store. Water stops located at Mile 5.5, Mile 12.5, Mile 34, and Mile 56.5, with a Mobil Station at Mile 44.5
Finish line will be stocked with water, fruit, and other snacks thanks to Lasting Hope Assembly of God. The annual Bourbon Car Show will be going on when you return, which will include numerous food vendors and local restaurants, so stick around to cheer on other finishers, food, and the car show!
We look forward to seeing you on September 19th!
