Pumpkin Holler Gravel Smasher: Oct. 18th

Time to get down, dirty, and gritty on your gravel bike. There’s no better place to get your gravel groove than the Pumpkin Holler Gravel Smasher race event on October 18th in the beautiful J.T. Nickel Preserve. The largest privately protected conservation area in the Ozarks, the Nickel Preserve is a 17,000-acre remote area northeast of Tahlequah, Ok, and runs alongside the scenic Illinois River. The preserve was formed in 2000 as the result of a land gift from the John Nickel Family.

Team Suicide Prevention is happy to be an official volunteer race support crew provider for this awesome event.

The course consists of gravel country roads with a few nice climbs. It is home to grassy prairies, oaks and pines, and an extensive system of tributaries feeding the Illinois River to the south. The tree covered trail will be bursting with yellows, and reds and browns as the trees are just beginning to turn colors and show off their magnificent fall foliage. We simply believe that we have found a little slice of heaven in our otherwise mad world.

Sunday, October 18th, The gravel grinder will be held alongside the already established Pumpkin Holler 100 mile running race and will share the road with the 100 mile runners as they are finishing up their event. You will do one loop for the 30 or two loops for the 60 with a 10 mile out and back in the middle of your first loop for the 70 milers.
