Event Description
The Ride Gravel is the ultimate bucket-list event for gravel riders and mountain bikers alike. Taking place across the Netherlands, this five-day journey combines fully supported riding with some of Europe’s most stunning gravel, paths, and forest trails.
Riders face five epic stages, with the choice each day between a 100 km standard route or an XL route of up to 125 km. Every stage is at least 60% off-road, featuring a dynamic mix of gravel roads, singletrack, and unpaved forest paths—perfectly designed to keep the challenge high and the riding unforgettable.
What sets The Ride Gravel apart is the all-inclusive support. Mechanics, medical teams, broom wagons, feed zones, and a race director’s car are all part of the package. Riders only need to focus on turning the pedals—the organization takes care of everything else.
The event is ideal for intermediate to expert riders who want to test themselves across multiple days while enjoying the camaraderie and relaxed atmosphere that defines gravel culture. Each stage ends with food, recovery, and the chance to share stories in a community built on adventure and inclusivity.
The Ride Gravel 2026 — five stages, world-class support, and the freedom to discover the Netherlands like never before.
