The Equalizer Groad Gravel Race rolls out in 2026, Saturday morning, November 7th, from Marthasville Mo!

 

The Equalizer is many things! Its the regular and awesome 50k or 100k Equalizer, its also the Finalie Event to the SHO ME MO' GRVL SERIES, and its The Missouri State Championship race for gravel.  This is a must do race for 2026! 

Free onsite camping in Wessel Park and the KT Caboose Friday and Saturday night.⛺

Showers and bathrooms available across the street at the Ballfields and at the KT Caboose.🚿 😍

The 50K sees some new gravel and roads this year and will join the 100k through the full classic Equalizer loop through Warrenton and all of the most awesome and refreshing creek crossings from last year. The 50K this year is XL and is really 43 miles. (we like to use K because its cool)  Choose either the 50k or 100k climbing 1800' and 3786' of up downs..  The 50 and 100 will stay together until mile 5. All State Championship contenders will race the 100k distance. Missouri State Champion Winners Jersiey Included, 2nd and 3rd place podiums and medals and everything else the EQUALIZER offers is available to registrants.

State Championship contenders....You MUST have a current USAC ANNUAL licence and be a resident of Missouri.

You do not need any licence to race the normal 50k or 100k, your one day licence is covered within the registration costs so you can just show up and ride.

USAC points are not required or needed to register for a certain State Championship Gravel category.

Regardless of your choice, all get the opportunity to hammer the fast road sections peppered by limestone gravel through the rolling countryside of Marthasville and Warrenton through the Aid stations and checkpoints back into racers village.  Speaking of Hammers, have you seen the 1st place awards? 🤩 (the Strava Segment awards aren't too shabby either)  New Custom Hammer Medals for 2nd and 3rd place, and top 5 overall will have their name printed on the next years shirt.  State Championship category winners will get The Roy Doskal Realty Equalizer State Championship Jersey and Mo State Medals. Also Custom Hammer medals for 2nd and 3rd place. 

The Equalizer is fast enough for the pavement pounder, yet technical enough for the gravel grinders, and most importanter.. Fun and safe for everyone.  Aid station for both distances, (water/ice/sports drink) (The 100k sees it 2wice) Bring your sag bag if you need food you cant haul. we will have it ready for you there. Trailing/roaming sag as well.

 Post race food, snacks, beverages, music, podiums, pics, Equalizer Black T-shirt available for those who registered by 10-10-26. Again, The name of last years top 5 M/F in both distances will be printed on the back, Forever immortalized in glorious glory of course.  Award Ceremony and awards for the Top 3 in all A.G.10yr increments. AND Overall M/F. Post Race Raffle for other goodies, and swag,  and I-9 Hubs! (your raffle ticket will be in your packet)  Stick around, camp out, and make an epic Finalie weekend with us!
