Due to recent severe flooding, Brown County State Park has experienced significant road damage, and after discussions with park officials, it’s clear that we won’t be able to safely host the 2025 Rollfast 8x8 Challenge as planned on April 26th.
This event means a lot to all of us—riders, volunteers, and the entire Rollfast community. We’re incredibly disappointed, but safety has to come first.
All registered riders will receive a full refund. Refunds will be processed automatically over the next few days. If you have any issues or questions, feel free to reply to this email.
Ride safe,

Hardest Ride I've Ever Done.
Rollast is always up for a challenge. We challenge YOU to complete the Rollfast 8×8. This grueling event takes place in the hills of southern Indiana at Brown County State Park. The route is designed in a 11.7 mile loop with a rest stop at the start/finish area. Each lap has approximately 900 feet of vertical gain. The hills are punchy and steep, so use caution when planning your gearing and on the descents!
Awards and Accolades
- Awards for top 3 male and female finishers (8x8 course)
- TEAM category! The fastest 4 members of your team will be scored with a combined time.
- Award for the fastest Team! (4 riders required)
