FROM 0 TO 4 GRAVEL SERIES IN 2026: For years, our region's gravel scene has mostly been a collection of standalone races. But in 2026, 4 new gravel series launched across Wisconsin and Minnesota, each with a different take on what a season should look like. We break down the similarities, differences, and what it could mean for the future of gravel in the region.

For the Gordon Pine Barrens 50 and 25 mile gravel races on Saturday, June 13, 2026, there is a slim chance of a train blocking the road prior to the finish. In the unlikely case of this happening, an alternate sprint finish line will be used for the lead group to determine the winner.

We will have the train schedule prior to the race. We will also have volunteers stationed prior to the finish to alert us of the incoming leaders. If a train is passing, a police squad car will turn on its lights to indicate the race will have its lead sprint on the black top. The line will be 180 meters in front of the police car (lights flashing if being used).

Watch the full video for a full explanation and footage of the alternate line! Please let us know if you have any questions.
