Join us for an epic mixed-terrain adventure that has become a “Hopper Classic.” New for 2026 is a course that is 95% dirt and gravel. With two course options, challenging climbs, and thrilling descents, we guarantee an amazing day in NorCal. Thanks to a partnership with Mendocino Redwood Company, riders will have the opportunity to ride and shred on roads only open to the public for this unique Grasshopper. It’s more than just a race, it’s a full weekend of riding bikes, connecting with friends, and kicking off the 2026 North American gravel season in true Hopper style.

The course is only opened to registered riders who have signed the Mendocino Redwood Company waiver that you will receive after registering for Low Gap. Registered riders will have access the weekend before the event and the weekend of the event ONLY.

New: Low Gap now has a long and short course!
