We invite you to join us in beautiful downtown Thomasville, 2027 Thomasville Clay Road Classic & Music Festival
February 20, 2027 • Thomasville, Georgia
Hubs and Hops
Get ready for the annual Thomasville Clay Road Classic & Music Festival, a one-of-a-kind gravel cycling adventure through the beautiful clay roads of Georgia’s Red Hills Region!
Thomasville is home to more than 300 miles of interconnected clay roads winding through approximately 300,000 acres of some of the most scenic countryside in the country — and, as we’ve been told, perhaps the world!
This is a self-supported endurance gravel road event, designed for riders of all types. Whether you’re looking to push the pace, enjoy a day with friends, or simply take in the scenery, there’s a ride for you.
Race pace. Party pace. Sightseeing social pace. Ride it your way — and recognition will be given to the fastest finishers!

100-Mile Clay Road Ride — 7:00 AM
75-Mile Clay Road Ride — 7:30 AM
50-Mile Clay Road Ride — 8:00 AM
25-Mile Clay Road Ride — 9:00 AM
Gates open at 6:00 AM.
The staging area will be at Hubs and Hops, and all ride waves will be escorted to the first dirt road.
GPS Navigation Required
These are true self-supported adventure rides. There will be no route markings or directional signs. Riders must use a phone with a navigation app such as Ride with GPS or a dedicated GPS device such as a Garmin to follow the route.
