Sponsorship Opportunities
Our event’s success is tied to our community partners that have stepped up to donate time and resources to make this a successful event to benefit the community.
About The Event
The Mane Event Gravel Grinder is Sheridan, Wyoming’s grass roots fall gravel cycling event, held annually in September. Drawing cyclists from across the region and beyond, this event offers three exhilarating course options—25, 54, and 78 miles—that showcase the rugged beauty of Wyoming ranch lands. Riders tackle challenging climbs, enjoy thrilling descents, and experience the camaraderie that only comes from this shared adventure.
Organized by Wild Path Racing, a group of cycling riders, racers, and enthusiasts, this event is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of community, outdoor recreation, and the spirit of giving back.
