Gravel Adventure is a scenic event which counted for the first time as UCI Gravel race in 2022. The event relocates to Jakuszyce for its third edition with a route leading along gravel roads in the scenic Izerskie Mountains.
Most of the race route leads along gravel roads in Izerskie Mountains, all off-road. The route is mostly wide, but there will also be some muddy and narrow singletrack sections. In some places, there will be a few old asphalt.
The main Gran Fondo course takes place over one lap (112km and 2030m of elevation), the Medio Fondo (65km and 1240m) and MINI (38km, 910m). The mini is not counting as a qualifier distance for the UCI World Championships.
We start at the lower station of the “Skisun” lift at an elevation of 640m above sea level and from the start we climb up to Stog Izerski at an elevation of over 1000m over a distance of 7km. The route then follows a plateau varying from an elevation of 800-1100, the highest point of the day which is reached after 50km on the long course, followed by a long descend with a tough final 8km towards the finish. The routes are challenging with a lot of climbing. Total elevation for the granfondo long distance is 2030m.
The mediofondo course takes the same route, but turns left after 52km to go directly to the finish. It has an elevation of 1240m.
