2024 Jailbreak 100/Jailbird 55 Gravel Challenge

SATURDAY APRIL 27

Bringing the Gravel Family together is so much fun, we just can't wait to do it again!! The Jailbreak 100 route is a single loop of approximately 90% gravel roads and 10% pavement. The course has a mild amount of small rollers with close to 3,000ft of climbing and is a fun and fast course. We have a refuel & party stop at the halfway point where riders can send their own refuel supplies with a bag drop service. (Bag Drop is provided for all 100 miler riders.) The 2024 Jailbreak course will start at the Iola High School. The halfway aid station will be in Bedias where family/friends/crew can easily access the halfway point to cheer and support you.

R3 Express Gravel Challenge

Get your gravel on this fall.  The 2023 R3 Express is moving start locations from previous years to the Sam Houston National Forest.  We have two routes, a beginner friendly 22 mile loop, the 'lil Sam and the Big Sam is 50 miles.  Both routes have less than 4 miles of pavement and wind through beautiful forest service and country roads.  The start/finish for the event is at the Shawshank Disc Golf Course - 450 Four Notch Road, near the Four Notch Hunters Camp/Trailhead 8 of the Lone Star Hiking Trail Parking Area. Parking will be at both the Hunters Camp and the Frisbee Golf Course.
