Gravel Rocks 2026

Gravel Rocks: The Ultimate Summer Gravel Riding and Trail Running Festival

​Gravel Rocks is a multi-day, multi-sport enduro-style event that brings together riders and runners for an unforgettable summer festival. Set within the exclusive Duncombe Park Estate in the North York Moors, participants can experience world-class off-road trails, pristine paths, and breathtaking vistas – a true playground for adventure seekers.

Adventure, Challenge, and Mystery
Across two action-packed days, athletes will tackle timed segments (exact number depending on distance), including two Friday night timed segments in Gravel Rocks in the Dark. But there’s a twist: the locations of each timed segment are a mystery until you uncover them along the route, adding an element of surprise and excitement to every step or pedal stroke. Not racing? No problem – come for the trails, the camaraderie, and the festival atmosphere.

Something for Everyone
Gravel Rocks caters to all levels of experience. From seasoned athletes to newcomers to off-road adventurers, the event offers a range of distances and challenges, blending competition with fun and celebrating the thrill of gravel and trail sports.

Festival Vibes Beyond the Trails
The event centre is a hub of activity with delicious food, refreshing drinks, live music, and a DJ/Live Band, providing the perfect backdrop to share stories from the day’s adventures and recharge. Whether you are a runner or a rider the event brings together both communities to share a passion for adventure. Gravel Rocks isn’t just an event – it’s a full-on celebration of everything that makes off-road cycling and running so special.
