The Gravel Rally is a brutal micro-adventure that grounds you in the raw, untamed landscapes and the historic terrain of the Eryri National Park in North Wales, famed for its pristine beauty and wild nature. Inspired by over 80 years of rallying heritage that has reverberated through the mountains and forests, this rally is a true tribute to tradition. Riders are faced with two route options and an optional Night Stage.
Choose World Class to enter the Night Stage paired with either our Long or Short Day Stages.
Choose Continental for Long or Short Day Stages only.
The Night Stage is an 11 mile Time Trial through the dark forest of Gwydir, where you and your navigational skills will be tested by gravel access roads and technical single track, accompanied by your fellow riders and their lights through the night sky.
