Osage Passage 2026
Event Overview
Osage Passage is a late-season gravel cycling event held in Osage County, Oklahoma, combining gravel riding with a relaxed weekend camping atmosphere. The 2026 edition will take place from October 2–4, 2026, with the main rides scheduled for Saturday, October 3. All gravel distances start at 8:30 AM.
Riders can choose from three published routes: a 12-mile option featuring riding around Zink Ranch with a mix of gravel and pavement; a 38-mile route with about 25 miles of Osage County gravel and more than 2,000 feet of climbing; and a 60-mile route that is approximately half gravel and half pavement.
The event also emphasizes camping, social activities, and time spent with other riders. Friday includes camping, packet pickup, and welcome activities, while Saturday features a post-ride meal and evening camp social. An unofficial recovery ride is planned for Sunday morning.
