Event Description

Veneto Gravel is a premier gravel cycling event set against the varied landscapes of Italy’s Veneto region, anchored in the historic city of Vicenza. Known for its rich cultural heritage, rolling hills, and quiet backroads, Veneto provides a stunning backdrop for a day of gravel exploration that blends challenge, scenery, and community.

The event offers four carefully designed distances — from a welcoming 58 km route to the challenging 167 km course — allowing riders of different experience levels to enjoy the region’s mixed terrain. Each route weaves through gravel tracks, forest roads, vineyards, and quiet rural lanes that reveal the beauty and diversity of the Veneto countryside.

Shorter options are perfect for riders seeking a scenic and engaging gravel day, while the longer routes add rolling climbs, extended gravel segments, and bigger views across hills and valleys. All courses are fully marked and supported, providing clear navigation and opportunities to enjoy every kilometre without distraction.

Beyond the ride itself, Veneto Gravel celebrates the Italian gravel lifestyle with a festive atmosphere. Start and finish festivities in Vicenza bring riders together with food, music, locals, and visiting cyclists, creating a shared experience that extends beyond competition. The event highlights the region’s warm hospitality, culinary delights, and the joy of cycling in community.

Whether riding for personal achievement, social connection, or the discovery of new terrain, Veneto Gravel offers an unforgettable day on mixed surfaces, deep in the heart of northern Italy’s gravel culture.
