Shasta Gravel Hugger
March 14, 2026
Shasta Gravel Hugger offers three routes with breathtaking views of Mt. Shasta and consists of about 50/50 gravel and pavement.
100 miles = Full Hug; 100km (62miles) = Half Hug; and a 34-mile option called the Handshake.
The fast pavement sectors connect the ten challenging gravel sectors, including the infamous “Jeep Road.” The race is built like a spring classic with sectors of Northern California gravel in place of European cobblestones. This course stands out with its rolling wide open roads and two major climbs totaling 4,700 feet of climbing. Race to win or win by riding your first century.
This race is hosted by Shasta Gravel Hugger and sanctioned by Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA).
