Parking access overview:
The Route (updated!)
The Farmstand 50 is a big loop through Pueblo’s agricultural history. These roads feature mellower grades than other routes and courses in the region (no big hills), and gravel that varies from packed and smooth to a bit more rustic. Like all our courses, we make sure you won’t run into anything super technical. Conditions will vary by weather, of course!
Distance and gain is almost exactly 50 miles and 1,000’ elevation!
View the route on RideWithGPS here
Notes on the course:
The segment of our course between Avondale blvd and Huerfano rd is PRIVATE and only accessible on race day.
Riders will be have a short section with sand and potential water on course. On that short segment, riders should operate within their limits and lend a hand if necessary.
The start location of the event route is different from the version of Farmstand 50 we’ve shared before. If pre-riding the course, do not park at the start shown on the event route. Look to this one instead.
This is a rural, low-traffic area. Riders may encounter wildlife, dogs, vehicles, farm equipment etc, and are expected to follow all traffic laws and regulations as well as use common sense.
This is a rules-of-the-road event and you participate at your own risk.
50 miles…as spicy as you want ‘em.
The Farmstand 50 is a local favorite route through “The Mesa”, Pueblo’s agricultural breadbasket. Roads on the Farmstand 50 are well-maintained, with minimal climbing and a bit more texture than the roads found on our Grassroots Gravel courses featured each October.
The inaugural Farmstand 50 is powered by Minnequa Works Credit Union, Pueblo’s locally owned, member-driven financial institution that has served Southern Colorado since 1937.
One distance. For everyone.
We’re serving up something simple and spicy. Registration will be very limited (our main event in October has sold out three years in a row). We’ll have women’s, men’s, and gender-expansive categories. We’re keeping it accessible. We’re keeping locally-sourced meals for all riders. We’re supporting local nonprofits. And we’re keeping it to one distance and depart. Fifty miles…flavored however you prefer.
Local flavors.
The Farmstand 50 will feature some of our favorite local flavors (like the Pueblo chile!) local farmstand experiences, and will engage local conservation and agriculture nonprofits including Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo and Palmer Land Conservancy.
Milberger Farms is generously hosting the start/finish venue at their processing facility. We will also be providing a picnic lunch the Milberger Farms market (make sure you stop in while you’re in Pueblo)!
A heart of history.
Riders will navigate gravel roads alongside dozens of 100+ year-old farms and ranches along the Farmstand 50 route. They’ll also pass the oldest standing schoolhouse in the entire state, located at the Doyle Settlement. That schoolhouse hosted Colorado’s first teacher, who later went on to become the first teacher in Denver!
It’s gonna be fun. For everyone.
No frills, loads of flavor.
We’re keeping the Farmstand 50 super simple and limited in size.
FARMSTAND 50 2026 is SOLD OUT. There will not be any day-of registration or transfers.
Registration includes:
Precision race timing and souvenir number plate
Race-day-only access through private property along the Huerfano river
Fully stocked aid stations and SAG vehicles on course
Post-ride picnic meal from a local family business

Custom event swag
Parking and access situation:
This area is rural and the roads are a classic, narrower country variety. Do not park on the roadside. To avoid congestion we’ve gotten access to a large lot down the road from a generous local resident. We’ll have ADA parking right at the venue. General parking will be just under a mile away and managed by our team.
At the heart of
Colorado history
The Farmstand 50 route will bring riders through historical foundations of the City of Pueblo as well as the state of Colorado! In addition to navigating dozens of farms and ranches dating to the 1800’s, about 2/3 of the way through the route, riders will pass the Doyle Settlement. The Doyle settlement is on the National Register of Historic Places, is one of the earliest non-mining settlements in Colorado, and features the oldest standing schoolhouse in the state of Colorado.
The schoolhouse dates back to the 1800’s and was led by the first teacher brought to Colorado, O.J. Goldrick. Goldrick later went on to be the first teacher in Denver.
Pueblo County and History Colorado are actively working through preservation efforts for the Doyle School.
