INFO

Welcome to the Driftless 100, formerly the Volga City Gravel Race.  Our event is designed as a fundraiser for the local EMS crews in Clayton County, Iowa and all proceeds go towards the improvement of equipment and supplies that small town emergency services are alway needing.  

​

The Race itself comes in 3 distances, 100, 50 and 25 miles. 90-95% of each course is on gravel with a few miles of level B, blacktop and bike trail included.  There are hills in this area of the state, some rollers but a lot of steep semi-short climbs that will get the legs going no matter what level of rider you are.  The estimated average for climbing is 100 feet per mile.  If you are looking for an additional incentive for your spring training we are doing a custom prize for any rider who breaks the 8 hour mark on the 100 mile course, thats only 12.5 MPH average.
