Key Events Organized by 6 Gap

1. 6 Gap Century
   The 6 Gap Century is the flagship event, offering riders a grueling 104-mile route that includes over 11,200 feet of climbing across six mountain passes, or “gaps,” in North Georgia. This century ride is a true test of stamina, featuring iconic climbs like Hogpen Gap, which includes a 7% grade over 7 miles. Cyclists who complete this course earn the bragging rights of conquering one of the most challenging century rides in the U.S. In addition to the full century, the event offers shorter, equally scenic routes with 3 Gap and Valley options for riders seeking a less demanding experience.
2. 6 Gap Gravel
   Expanding the 6 Gap brand into off-road terrain, the 6 Gap Gravel event invites gravel cycling enthusiasts to tackle Georgia’s rugged backcountry. This gravel event offers two route options, a long and a short course, both featuring gravel and dirt roads that wind through dense forests and rolling hills. Riders face challenging climbs, technical descents, and a variety of terrain that tests bike handling skills while providing a scenic adventure. The gravel routes showcase the beauty of Georgia’s landscapes off the beaten path, making it an ideal event for riders seeking a raw, immersive outdoor experience.

With a long-standing commitment to quality event production and challenging scenic courses, 6 Gap has established itself as a premier event organizer in the Southeast, delivering memorable experiences for both road and gravel cyclists alike.
