4th of July

22.5 Mile
Gravel Bike Ride

22.5 MILES

Gravel Bike Ride

presented by the
Scripps Ranch Old Pros

Scripps Ranch Old Pros are proud to bring back our Gravel Ride. With over 2,300 feet of climbing, this challenging 22.5-mile course is a thrilling journey through Scripps Ranch and Poway. Roughly half of the course is on single-track and fire-road dirt paths. You also get to share a portion of the course with our 35 mile road-riders and brag about your off-road fun!

Please note the Gravel Ride is only for skilled off-road bike enthusiasts! Although only 22.5 miles long, this ride takes much longer than our road-only rides. Don’t worry, there is a return option half-way for those who over-estimated their endurance level!

Top Notch
Shirt

These patriotic sweet babies are light, breathable, and made from a super soft cotton Tee.

They’re the very best shirts we’ve ever made, and every participant gets one free with registration.

A Really
Good Cause

Every year the Old Pros donate tens of thousands of dollars to youth scholarships and youth sports in Scripps Ranch.

When you sign up to run or ride with us, you’re helping us fund these efforts to give back to the community. 60% of the proceeds from this event go directly to support student athletes.

the Park

After you cross the finish line, the fun is just beginning.

Ever wonder how we’re able to keep the 4th of July Run & Ride so darn affordable every year?

Well, the truth is… we get a ton of help from our generous sponsors and community partners. Their support is invaluable, and we couldn’t pull it off without them.
