THE GRAZZL

The GrAZzl: 3-Day Gravel Stage Race

Arizona’s first-ever gravel stage race — offering TEAM and INDIVIDUAL options. Hosted at Village Camp Flagstaff, The GrAZzl blends competition, community, and chaos (the good kind) into one unforgettable weekend.

Riders can enter the stage race or one-day, racing across three unique stages that showcase the grit, beauty, and high-altitude terrain of Northern Arizona.

Each stage delivers its own flavor — from tactical sprints to all-day epics — and every finish brings the Village back together for food, music, and firelight.

Complete all three stages to earn a shot at the GrAZzl Champion title — or mix and match for a weekend of pure gravel fun.

DAY ONE TT

DAY ONE - GRAVEL TIME TRIALS

Short, sharp, and strategic — The Time Trial is where precision meets power. Riders will tackle a timed 5-mile hill segment with an assigned start time, testing their ability to focus and go full throttle when it counts.

It’s a race within a race — part strategy, part sufferfest, and 100% GrAZzl.

Format: hill timed segment | Neutral rollouts | Lowest total time wins.

Category Options: Novice, Intermediate, Elite, Masters +50

DAY two classic

DAY TWO- CLASSIC GRAVEL

The soul of The GrAZzl — 25/40/70-mile gravel grind through Northern Arizona’s rugged backroads, pine forests, and high-desert beauty.

This is the queen stage: long climbs, sweeping descents, and those signature Arizona views that make every mile worth the effort. Riders will tackle a mix of terrain — fast-rolling forest roads, chunky climbs, and open stretches built for grit and glory.

It’s a true test of endurance and strategy, where pacing, nutrition, and mental toughness separate the legends from the rest.

Format: 25/40/70-mile single-day race. Fastest cumulative time wins.

Category Options: Novice, Intermediate, Elite, Masters +50

REGISTER

DAY three circuit

DAY THREE- GRAVEL CIRCUIT

A fast and tactical 5-mile loop that’s all about consistency, tactics, and grit: riders will complete an assigned number of laps based on category — every turn, climb, and corner counts.

Novice (3 laps), Intermediate (4 laps), Elite (5 laps), Masters +50 (4 laps)

This stage rewards endurance and smart pacing: go out too hard, and you’ll fade; ride it right, and you’ll find your rhythm. Expect punchy climbs, smooth descents, and plenty of spectator energy as riders loop through the party zone each lap.

Format: Most laps completed in 2 hours wins.

Category Options: Novice, Intermediate, Elite, Masters +50
