The Gralloch is a multi-day gravel cycling festival held in Dumfries and Galloway, based in Gatehouse of Fleet. Operating across three days, the event takes riders into the surrounding Galloway Forest Park and features competitive racing, an ultra-distance off-road challenge, and non-competitive riding options.

Participants can choose from three main ride formats. The Race option provides timed, competitive gravel racing. The Genesis Gralloch Ultra presented by Maxxis covers a 323-kilometre route designed as an endurance distance through off-road terrain. For riders seeking a non-competitive experience, the Sportive allows participants to complete the trails at their own pace.

Off the bike, the weekend includes an Event Village located in Gatehouse of Fleet. Village activities include shakeout rides, panel talks, an industry expo featuring cycling brands, live music, craft beer, coffee, and local food vendors. A fully serviced campsite with hot showers, toilets, drinking water, and security is open to participants from Thursday to Monday.
