Headwaters 100 will be held September 27, 2025!

The Headwaters 100 is the premier event of the Itascatur Outdoor Activity Club. Every year we have hundreds of cyclists from all over North America join us in beautiful Park Rapids, MN to tour the spectacular fall colors. The Headwaters 100 will take place on Saturday, September 27, 2025. Check back here often for updates to the route, as 2025 looks to be a summer of road construction on a couple of the roads on our typical route.
