The Snallygaster 200 2024

The Snallygaster 200 is a gravel bike cycling event category bikepacking, ultra in United States, state Maryland and was organized for the first time in 2022. The edition The Snallygaster 200 2024 took place on Saturday 14 September 2024 with departure in Oakland, County Garrett, Maryland.

The Snallygaster 200 is offering 2 routes (322, 161 km) for gravel bike

Organizer: The Snallygaster 200 is the only ultra-distance bikepacking race/gravel route in western Maryland and Preston County.

In seriousness, this amazing and difficult route will go through 4 of the 7 state parks in Garrett County, run the entire length of the Meadow Mtn Trail, scoot around the rim of the Blackwater Canyon, visit countless gorgeous and forgotten dirt/gravel roads in Preston County (Hile Run, Snake Road, Mount Olivet Road, Peddler's Glory) and incredible roads in the north of Garrett County (Blooming Rose Road, for instance). Best of all, there are a ton of towns and gas stations along the way for resupply and plenty of places to camp. Not to mention, you'll always be within an hour of Oakland, so if something goes terribly wrong, getting a ride back to the start won't be a massive pain in the you-know-what.
