Fenrir Unchaind

Fenrir Unchaind South Central Oklahoma's newest gravel adventure. For those that miss the good old days of gravel. Why Fenrir Unchaind? Because it's there! Amazing roads.

Brought to you by the same folks at that brought you the Oklahoma Gravel Growler. Fenrir is the father of the wolves Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson, is a son of Loki and is foretold to kill the god Odin during the events of Ragnarök, but will in turn be killed by Odin's son Víðarr. He is the wolf who could not be chained but was by Dwarf magic and trickery. He will break his chains at R

agnarok! Gravel has evolved and is bigger than ever. This has been fantastic ... but some of us long for the grassroots old days ... when you showed up, were scared but were with friends and didn't know what to expect. The early DK and LR were epic ... they were mostly unsupported, they didn't have easy bailouts, there were not huge corporate parties. You showed up with 100 of your craziest friends ready to ride mostly unknown routes with limited support. Fenrir Unchaind is that ... this is not for the faint of heart. You will tackle 145 or 210 miles of south central Oklahoma's challenging gravel roads. We won't release the course until Thursday ... as a nod to technology we will have a GPS file in addition to the course handbook. We will also give you the entire course at once, not as you make progress. There will be 1 (yep you read that right), 1 dropbag/support/aid area. You will see it at about 70 miles and see it again around 140. If you opt for the "short" version you just see it once. There will be no lead car. There will be no course markings except at places we think will be challenging. You cannot be resupplied on course except at the 1 oasis (see above). If your besties decide that they want to meet you at mile 40 with some goodies, they better be prepared to supply every other rider on the course or your day is done. This is old school, adventure, gravel as it was 10-15 years ago. Why would you want to do this? Well if you gotta ask it probably isn't for you and that is okay. Come hang out at the finish with us and cheer the finishers. If you want to challenge yourself, this may be one of the best events for you. Amazing course. Amazing people. Want more? Okay, how does $25 grab you? Yep Twenty Five Bucks ... that's it! What do you get for your $25? You get a great course, drop bag service, aid at the 70/140 stop. You get some food when you are done. You get some swag. You get a finisher thing if you finish. You want a shirt, a hat, etc? You can buy that ... we are doing our best to keep the price low and cover our costs. The event will be timed. We will have a 17 hour cutoff. Finish after that if you must (but really, midnight is late enough for our volunteers that will have been hard at work for days) but it will be unofficial. Old school! Gravel adventure!

This post is hard. It is with great regret that we have to cancel the 2025 Fenrir Unchaind. We will refund your entry fee this week once we work out the details with RunSignUp.

This event was conceived the be the un-UnBound. Inexpensive, full service, amazing routes, no lottery, event of a lifetime. The big knock on it was that it was the same weekend as UnBound ... well that is not the case this year. Didn't matter. As with out other events, the last two years has seen dramatic decreases in registration.

We understand that there are tons of events. We understand that economic times are hard. We respect that. The gravel community has spoken and we have listened. We reached a deadline where we had to decide and with only 15 people registered the answer was obvious.

Thank you to every single person that has ever given us faith with your hard earned dollars. Thank you more to every person that has donated their money, time, love, to us. These events don't happen without a community. Thank you more to my wife who has put up with this crazy idea of events in Tecumseh. Without your support I couldn't not have ever done any of this.

I ask you to register for local events. Support people and ideas that matter to you. Putting on races is hard. The people that do it, almost exclusively, don't make any money. Without them there are no events. So support the events that matter to you - as we will continue to do.

For everyone who was planning on this event, I am sorry. I am more crushed than you.

Registration for the 2025 Fenrir is set to open this Saturday! Race date is June 6, 2025! Surprise ... this year it is a week after unBound so we will use the 2025 unBound winners time for the 210 challenge.

Bigger surprise ... given that nobody has ever even finished the 210, we thought what the heck, let's go bigger! Already too hard ... already too long ... already too much fun ... NOPE. Introducing Helheim ... the Fenrir XL!

You will start Friday at 6pm and cruise our brand new 100 mile (about 4500' of climbing) route that returns to spOKeLAHOMA. From there you will jump into the regular Fenrir madness ... 3 different 70 mile loops. Total ... 310 miles, 17,000' of climbing, some of the finest gravel in the world. But you have to be done in 31 hours.

Off the charts! Or just hell ... hence the name (Helheim is the Norse underworld). Same price ($30). Same basic rules. Just more ...
(Oh and if you select the Wolfpack Double on the Oklahoma Gravel Growler registration you will save even more!)

Wow what a day. If you were there you know. If you were not you missed one of the best days.
The crew made this day. The Spam Jam was epic. The course was magic. The weather got warm but it was about as good as it gets.
Fran and I want to thank everyone who participated, who worked the event, and who sponsored it. This was a challenging week and with immense support from you we all pulled this off! Amazing

Oh and the 210 still lives in infamy. Unfinished to this day. The Beast of the Spring.

The crew getting ready to Jam!!!
