• Distances: 25, 62, 100 miles
• Event Type: Gravel Race

The Wild Hare is a new gravel race in Wisconsin that explores the quiet roads of the state's distinctive Driftless Region. Launching from the vibrant arts hub of Viroqua, this event is part of the Supper Club Gravel Series, a collection of rides designed to celebrate the heart of Midwest gravel. The day is shaped by thoughtfully designed routes, promising big views and a welcoming atmosphere that extends beyond the finish line, favouring community and shared experience over outright speed.

The event unfolds in the unique terrain of the Driftless Region, an area untouched by ancient glaciers. This geological history leaves a landscape of steep, sharp hills and deeply carved river valleys. For the rider, this translates to a day of constant rhythm changes—punchy, quad-burning climbs that give way to rewarding descents. The route threads through this dramatic scenery, offering a distinct challenge and a reminder of the raw beauty found off the beaten path in this part of the United States.

Riders can choose a challenge that suits their early-autumn ambitions, with three distinct distances on offer: 25, 62, or 100 miles. Each loop is crafted from the same cloth of winding farm roads and quiet gravel lanes. While the shorter route provides a more contained taste of this Wisconsin gravel race, the longer options demand endurance and resolve, taking riders deeper into the region's relentless hills and stunning coulees for a truly memorable day on the bike.

The atmosphere of the Wild Hare is rooted in the community spirit of Viroqua itself. The town serves as a fitting start and finish point, its creative energy providing a backdrop for the day's efforts. The event is designed to be as much about the shared stories as the ride itself, fostering a welcoming space for both seasoned racers and those new to the format. It's a quiet celebration of riding bikes through beautiful, quiet landscapes, reflecting the spirit of many other gravel events in United States.

As one of three events in the new Supper Club Gravel Series, Wild Hare contributes to a growing calendar of rides in the American Midwest. This region, with its vast network of unpaved roads, provides a perfect canvas for another kind of gravel race in Wisconsin. The ride is an invitation to experience its unique character—a day for finding a rhythm on the rolling climbs and soaking in the expansive scenery.
