The Gralloch Sportive

The Gralloch Sportive is a new sportive version of The Gralloch gravel race.

The first edition will take place on Sunday 18 May 2025, the day after the main UCI Gravel World Series race.

Riders of all abilities are invited to explore the stunning Galloway Forest Park on one of two challenging yet rewarding routes.

The Long Route, named 'The Stag,' covers 111km with 1750m of climbing, offering a true challenge for experienced riders who crave an epic day on the gravel. The Stag will be the identical route the elite and amateur racers tackle the day before as part of the UCI Gravel World Series.

Meanwhile, the Short Route, named 'The Fawn,' spans 53km with 800m of climbing, providing a more accessible yet equally scenic option with vistas of the Solway Coast, stunning lochs and the Scottish wilderness.

Both routes allow participants to immerse themselves in the beauty of Scotland's landscapes without the intensity of a race.

Riders can look forward to fully signposted routes, professional on-route support teams, mechanical support, nutrition support, professional timing, medical back-up and several dedicated rest stops offering the opportunity to relax, refuel and enjoy stunning views before continuing their ride.
