Gravel events in Oceania

Australia's outback gravel and New Zealand's Southern Alps offer some of the most dramatic, big-country gravel riding on Earth — paired with one of the world's most active grassroots race scenes.

Oceania punches well above its weight for gravel. Australia's gravel calendar is one of the densest in the world, headed by events like the Seven, Gravelmuster, and the Race to the Rock ultra. New Zealand's Tour Aotearoa and a growing list of South Island gravel races complete the picture.

Where to ride gravel in Oceania

Australia delivers everything from forest gravel in Victoria and Tasmania to outback ultras across the Red Centre. New Zealand's Otago, Canterbury, and the West Coast offer alpine gravel, river-valley bikepacking, and the iconic Tour Aotearoa route end to end.

What kind of events you'll find

Mass-start gravel races, multi-day stage events, self-supported ultras, and one of the most active community gravel scenes anywhere. Many events double as social weekends with great post-ride hospitality.
