The Mid South course and aid station map

The 2026 route was 106.1 miles with 6,506 feet of climbing, and the miles here are that year's. It runs through the Cross Timbers, where post oak and blackjack oak cling to sandstone ledges along sunken roadbeds. Mulhall, at mile 28, has water and Skratch. From there it's 33 miles and about 1,900 feet of climbing to downtown Guthrie at mile 61, the only place your crew can hand you anything. You cross the Cimarron River on Pleasant Valley Road on the way.

From Guthrie the organizer counts another 33 miles to the last aid station, at the entrance to the Bovine Bypass, a stretch of rough double track on private land. On the way you cross the Cimarron again at mile 82, on a new highway bridge that was still closed to traffic in 2026. You have to dismount there, because of a 2 foot ridge onto the bridge deck. Watch the two railroad crossings at miles 28.2 and 38.4: they have no arms. Highway 77 at mile 39.7 and Highway 33 at mile 84.2 don't stop for you either.

Since 2026 the pros have raced on Friday, apart from the Saturday mass start, on a route that differs slightly from the amateur 100: 106.4 miles with 6,535 feet of climbing in 2026. That year the men started at 1 PM, the women at 1:15 and the non-binary field at 1:30.

Its only aid station in 2026 was at Dunagan Farms, mile 52.4, on County Road 74 outside Guthrie. Crews parked on the north side of the road, and pros without a crew got water and some food there. Mulhall at mile 28 and a stop at mile 95.8 had neutral water and portable toilets, but no crews. Take aid anywhere other than Dunagan Farms and you're disqualified.

The 2026 route was 54.9 miles with 3,492 feet of climbing. In wet years the first miles out of Stillwater have claimed hundreds of derailleurs, the organizer says, so walk when you need to. In 2026 the halfway aid station was in Mulhall at mile 28, with water and Skratch.

On the way home you ride 13 straight miles on 44th to the Bovine Bypass, where a second aid station waits (no mile is published for it), then it's a short ride into town. Movemint lists a 58 mile course for 2027, so expect changes.

The Inspiration Ride follows the peloton out of Stillwater and climbs to "the top of Washington", a hill that starts plenty of local gravel rides, with a view back over town. The loop then swings east and comes home on Husband Street, where the 2026 aid station was at mile 6.8. That year's route measured 10.9 miles with 465 feet of climbing.

The 50K climbs Washington out of town, then rolls over red dirt, crossing Wild Horse Creek around mile 13. It was 31.0 miles with 1,928 feet of climbing in 2026. Its aid stations that year were at miles 5, 10.6, 15.6, 20.7 and 25.

Your crew can meet you only at aid 4, mile 20.7, where the Bovine Bypass begins. Tell them to come in from the east: anyone seen on the course gets their runner disqualified. Cyclists are banned from the running course on Friday from 6 AM until the last runner is in.

The half is an out and back on the start of the 50K course. In 2026 it was 12.9 miles with 624 feet of climbing and turned around at mile 6.6, so you passed the same aid station on Washington Street twice, at miles 4.5 and 8.5. It started at 7 AM on Friday, with check-in from 6.
