A Classic Northern California Gravel Ride Through Quiet Roads and Open Country

The Huffmaster, the 2nd event of the year within the Grasshopper Adventure Series, is a quintessential Northern California gravel ride. The ride starts in the quiet town of Maxwell and winds through rolling backroads west of Highway 5 along the edge of the Mendocino National Forest. With lightly traveled pavement, long stretches of gravel, and fewer crowds than flashier events, it offers riders a rare chance to experience expansive landscapes and thoughtfully designed mixed-terrain routes. Choose between 89 or 59 miles of riding that balance steady effort with rewarding climbs, making the Huffmaster both an inviting entry into gravel riding and a satisfying challenge for seasoned cyclists.

A Competitive Mile at the Base of Mt. Tamalpais

The Marin Mile returns for its third year as a celebration of Marin County’s deep running roots, inviting runners of every level to take on the sport’s most iconic distance. Held on a historic local track, the event is intentionally inclusive — welcoming those who want to jog, run, or race — while still delivering true competitive stakes. With multiple heats leading up to elite men’s, women’s, and non-binary races, the Marin Mile blends grassroots energy with top-end performance, all under USATF sanctioning and electronic timing. The night carries added meaning through its support of Running For A Better Oakland, with proceeds helping empower K–12 students through sport, and the tantalizing possibility of witnessing Marin County’s first sub-four-minute mile.
