Waterloo G+G Gravel Race

Ride through the wilds of Lower Michigan’s largest park, where pristine forests, rolling glacial terrain, and sparkling lakes provide a breathtaking backdrop for the gravel cycling experience of a lifetime.

Given Waterloo Recreational Area’s glacial history, the bike courses will vary from rolling hill climbs and swift descents to winding curves and rare straightaways. Some roads will be paved. Others may be patched. Most will be dirt and rock. Expect to get dusty. Expect to get grimy. Expect to have the time of your life!

100K: Now one loop that winds through Waterloo’s more than 20,000 acres.

50K: Condenses the best that the 100K offers into half the distance

11-mile: a little bit of everything!

Why race with us?

We know there are a lot of race companies out there and many events to choose from.  We pride ourselves on being an athlete-focused company and hope to give you more bang for your buck than anyone else.  Here are a few of the reasons we feel we are a cut above the rest:

Incredible finisher medals – we go all out when it comes to finisher medals.

Custom participant shirts – high-quality tri-blend material, custom-designed yearly to commemorate your accomplishments.  They are available in both men’s and women’s cuts.

Excellent finish line food – we always offer various options so that everyone has something to refuel with while they celebrate.

Family-friendly vacation destination – Everyone loves the beaches in West Michigan!

Secured Start Line Guarantee – with our new policy,  you don’t have to sweat your registration should something happen.

Amazing team program – racing is better with friends and we will reward you for bringing them.

One of the safest swims around – seriously, our swim coordinator usually has enough boats and lifeguards so that you only need to swim 25-50 yards between them.

Locally owned and managed company – your money not only helps to provide jobs in our community but also benefits local and national charity groups. In 2024, Tris4Health events raised over $200,000 and directly donated more than $30,000 in cash and entries.

Professionally produced events – we are one of Michigan’s largest event production companies and know how to show our athletes a good time.  When you attend a Tris4Health event, you can expect a high-quality, professionally produced event with the Tris4Health feel our athletes have come to know and love.

Options for everybody – With triathlon, aquabike, duathlon, and relay offerings at two distances, we know we have a race for you!  Are you interested in the world of multisport but don’t know where to start?  Reach out and we can help find the race for you and can even match you up with relay partners.

Our ambassadors – our ambassadors will be on-site to help answer any questions you might have.  Whether it’s your first event or your fiftieth, they are there to help.

Our volunteers – year in and year out our volunteers are rated as the best around.  We couldn’t do this without them so be sure to thank them on race day!
