It’s not just a gravel race—it’s a weekend to experience. At the 7th Gravel del Sale Fantini Club, two days await you between the sea and hills, over 60 km of white roads, unique views of the salt pans, and all the energy of Romagna. Expect a social ride, expo, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere open to every type of bike and rider.
And then, the grand finale: a beach finish on the same line as the world’s biggest IRONMAN, greeted like a star on the red carpet.
Everything starts at Fantini Club’s beach, the meeting point for a growing community. From here, you leave the sea behind to venture inland, where Romagna reveals its most authentic soul.
The route unfolds through gentle landscapes, white roads, unforgettable stretches, and timeless villages. It’s a journey through true beauty—made of silence, nature, and details that only cyclists can truly appreciate.
But Gravel del Sale is also a journey through flavors: Well-stocked rest stops along the way, local products, Romagna specialties, and the taste of a land that knows how to welcome. Here, every break becomes an experience, not just a refuel.
It’s an experience that unites everyone: From vintage road bikes to modern ones, mountain bikes to gravel bikes, and even e-bikes. Here, the bike doesn’t matter—it’s the spirit you bring that counts.
And then there’s Romagna: Its warmth, its scents, and its unique ability to turn every pedal stroke and every rest stop into something unforgettable. The weekend kicks off with the lighthearted, communal vibe of the Bike Village and Saturday’s Social Ride through pine forests and canals, always ending back at the Village for a celebration.
On Sunday, you can push your limits or ride at your own pace, choosing your route and living your adventure all the way to the one-of-a-kind beach finish at Fantini Club.
And after crossing the finish line, the celebration continues: a seaside pasta party, smiles, and stories to share. Because Gravel del Sale isn’t just an event—it’s pure, simple joy of sharing. It’s a different way to experience time, space… and taste. It’s a journey to take together.
