Doom 2025
AR, United States 408mi (657km)
Doom is a beautifully evil bikepacking route in the south, consisting of soul-sucking climbs, rough roads, and a whopping 43,000 feet of elevation gain…
A spring classic deep in the backcountry of the Ozarks!
For the 4th Edition of Ozark Gravel Doom we’ve expanded to three distance options: Doom (408 miles), Despair (196 miles), & Dismay (109 miles).
Flirting with the line between gravel and mountain bike terrain, this event is notorious for soul-sucking climbs, rowdy descents, and mega run-outs between resupplies. Expect some rugged and remote singletrack on the longer two options with more than a handful of water crossings throughout all routes.
The general recommendation is a hardtail mountain bike with 2.2″ tires or bigger, but we’ve seen all sorts of creative rigs. Many have used this as a testing ground for a Tour Divide set-up, including last year’s female winner Meghan Hakkinen! This is also a singlespeeder’s delight, with a growing field each year, including more than 15 riders in 2024.
