2024 Course Routes

We have exciting new route additions and direction changes coming to KowTown in 2024. Part of this operation is conducted on Public Lands under special permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. We are working closely with our local office to finalize course routes and permitting. All routes are subject to change but will be communicated in a timely manner.

KTG 90 The Bull

Approx. 90 mi, 8000 ft elevation gain

  • 82% unpaved - updated in February!

  • 4 aid stations

We’ve really made the long course a barn burner this year! Updated with the permission of BLM, we’ve added MORE gravel and reduced pavement. Not to disappoint those who yearn for a gravel race ass-whooping, we’ve made the long course spicier. This course mirrors the new Cow route but tacks on a Grouse Mountain loop. The first serious climb effort (1600 ft) begins up BLM Road 2757 to Black Mountain with a connection to County Road 21 through three miles of a private ranch. This private section is exclusive to KowTown and only accessible on race day! From here you’ll get the 2500 foot climb up Grouse Mountain (CR21), but we introduced a larger loop so riders can take in more incredible views - and catch your breath - at our race’s highest point. From here it’s on to Williams Fork Reservoir and the fun Sulphur Gulch double track before doubling down on your pace to the finish. You won’t get these experiences just anywhere, only in KowTown. 

E-bikes are not allowed on this course.

KTG 65 The Cow

Approx. 65 mi, 5075 ft elevation gain

  • 67% unpaved

  • 3 aid stations

Our middle length course provides a bucking bronco of an experience! Similar to last year, the difference between the Bull and Cow routes will be the 2500 foot climb up Grouse Mountain - the middle course simply cuts it out. 

To mix it up in 2024 we’ve changed direction - and course - a few times. Racers again get to experience the rolling County Road 23 Whoopty Whoops, the Parshall/Williams Fork Reservoir loop, and the fan favorite Sulphur Gulch double track. New this go-round is a 1600+ foot climb up Black Mountain (BLM Road 2757) and a descent through three miles of a private ranch. This private section is exclusive to KowTown and only accessible on race day! The Cow course is highlighted by scenic landscapes, waterfront views, and our untapped, untamed gravel.

E-bikes are allowed on this course but will not be chipped nor eligible for prizes.

KTG 34 The Calf

Approx 34 mi, 2200 ft elevation gain

  • 55% unpaved

  • 1 aid station

Our shortest course welcomes all to experience Kremmling’s superior gravel. Don’t be fooled by the length, we included some rowdy, off-the-beaten-path sections to give all a boot-stomping good time. This is a perfect course for the gravel curious and those who want a shorter distance and time commitment - whether you’re out to win or just join in on the fun.

E-bikes are allowed on this course but will not be chipped nor eligible for prizes.
