Thank you for joining us at Heart of Gold 2026!
Steep climbs. Dusty miles. A finish line worth fighting for. Heart of Gold Gravel 2026 brought the grit, and you brought the heart.
Thank you to every rider who took on Nevada County’s gravel roads and gave it their all. Whether you chased the podium or pushed toward a personal finish, you helped make this year’s ride something special.
To our sponsors, volunteers, aid station crews, local businesses and community partners, thank you for showing up strong. From the first packet pickup to the final rider home, your generosity and hard work kept this event rolling.
Every mile had a purpose. Together, we raised funds and awareness for youth mental health and wellness, supporting local organizations that help young people find care, connection and support.
Congratulations to our finishers, age group winners and podium riders. You earned those tired legs and finish line smiles.
