SUMMARY:Gray Duck Grit V
DESCRIPTION:\nGray Duck Grit is a grass-roots gravel cycling event in Southern Minnesota. It forces you to push past preconceived mental and physical barriers. Our 50, 69, 111, 222-mile gravel and cyclocross events break you down one hill, one pedal stroke, one gasping breath at a time, only to build you up with a renewed sense of growth, community, and grit.\n\n\n\nThe driving force behind this challenge is the sincere desire to do more than simply ride or challenge ourselves. Giving back to the communities in which we live is at the core of Gray Duck Grit and it’s passionate flock of volunteers. This is why we give a portion of the proceeds to Fraser of MN ( https://grayduckgrit.com/giving-back/ ) which provides autism and mental health resources to children, teens, adults, and families throughout the Twin Cities and beyond. We invite you to visit FRASER.ORG to learn more.\n\n\n\nFundraising through participation is nothing new and making it equally accessible for all is very important. Besides throwing an epic celebration of cycling, another goal we have is to fundraise for an amazing cause and would love for everyone to be able to help us contribute.\n\n\n\nIn spite of the challenge that is Gray Duck Grit, we strive to make GDG accessible to anyone who has a bike and wants to get after it by offering Non-Binary/Gender Non-Conforming categories for all our competitions and distances. In an arena historically male dominated, this change creates a space for all to feel welcome and represented. Each year our flock of volunteers considers and evaluates ways to create a diverse space for those who would like to join this purpose-driven event. Listening to our cyclists and doing what’s right matters. Stay tuned for more inclusive, equity-based opportunities for the GDG cycling community.\n\n\n\n\n
