Lost and Found Gravel Festival

The Lost & Found course features a perfect blend of pavement, dirt road, gravel road and historic railroad grade. Racers must choose their bike wisely as this is the high Sierra. All routes start in Portola at the City Park and lead into the surrounding mountains through some of the most beautiful and vast alpine valleys California has to offer. The route (Longest) is approximately 100 miles with 8,000' of elevation gain and is 80% dirt. Also available are two shorter course options; Long (~35mi, 4,000' gain), and Longer (~60mi, 5,000' gain).

Participants can choose to race or simply ride the route and take advantage of the quality aid stations. Racers and riders from around the world will be invited to lose themselves and find this two-wheeled paradise. Saturday ride and post event fun in Portola with food, beer, live music, and dancing - the way we like to do it! 

Proceeds from the Lost & Found go right back into the trails through the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship. This race supports Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship's Lost Sierra Route, connecting 15 mountain communities to promote economic prosperity through recreation.

By participating and fundraising, you will help a region recover from devastating wildfires and economic hardship through the creation of this 600+ mile multiuse trail.
