The Missouri OUTLAW Gravel Race

Get ready to challenge yourself at The Missouri OUTLAW Gravel Race, rolling out from historic downtown Sainte Genevieve, MO, on Saturday, April 18, 2026. This 45-mile gravel grinder promises an exhilarating early-season adventure across some of the region's finest gravel roads, many of which were part of the original SGT GRVL Classic course. The route offers a dynamic experience, starting "Flat and Fast" before delivering an "ambush" at Thunder Ridge around mile 20, ensuring a true test of grit and skill. Runners will enjoy picturesque scenery as they journey through flat levee stretches paralleling the majestic Mississippi River, providing an "incredibly scenic gravel paradise".

Participants can expect a well-supported and engaging event. On-course aid stations will keep you fueled, and the race utilizes the Race Joy App for real-time phone tracking, route guidance, and emergency SAG support, allowing friends and family to follow your progress and send cheers. As part of the "Show-Me Mo Gravel Series," the Outlaw Gravel Race serves as an exciting kickoff to Missouri's gravel season. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant highs around 70F and lows of 45F, with a modest 19% chance of precipitation, creating ideal racing weather.

The experience extends beyond the course with lively post-race festivities featuring food, snacks, beverages, and music, all culminating in a podium ceremony for top finishers. All registered runners receive a commemorative long-sleeve T-shirt, a finisher medal, a neck buff, and a number plate. By participating, you'll also be supporting Trailnet, the race's charity partner dedicated to enhancing biking in the area. Whether you're chasing a personal best or soaking in the camaraderie, The Missouri OUTLAW Gravel Race delivers a memorable and challenging ride.
