Megalopolis Gravel Classic

The Megalopolis Gravel Classic returns for its second year in 2026, set to take place over the weekend of April 25–26. This cycling extravaganza offers an immersive experience that combines challenging terrain with a vibrant community atmosphere. The event is designed to cater not only to serious cyclists but also to casual riders and young enthusiasts.
At the heart of Megalopolis lies the main square, where a dedicated skills track will be set up for budding cyclists. This area promises both education and fun as participants hone their cycling abilities in a supportive environment. Meanwhile, local culinary delights from the region’s rich gastronomy scene will take center stage at various food stalls throughout the event.
The core of Megalopolis Gravel Classic is its diverse range of routes that cater to all levels of experience and endurance. Cyclists can choose between two main gravel paths: a 50-kilometer route offering scenic views and challenging terrain, or an extended 100-kilometer journey for those seeking a more rigorous challenge. For a shorter adventure, there’s also the picturesque Lake Trapezounta loop, which covers 25 kilometers and is perfect for casual riders looking to enjoy the local scenery.
On Saturday afternoon, Megalopolis opens its doors with a unique City Ride of just 5 kilometers, providing an opportunity to explore the city at a leisurely pace. This ride offers a different perspective on Megalopolis, allowing participants to discover hidden gems and charming streets that might not be accessible by car or public transport.
The event is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of cycling culture in its purest form – an active getaway filled with the spirit of travel and exploration. Whether you’re seeking adventure on gravel roads or simply enjoying a family-friendly outing, Megalopolis Gravel Classic promises to deliver unforgettable moments amidst breathtaking landscapes and warm community vibes.
The event is set to captivate cyclists from all walks of life, offering an array of experiences that highlight the beauty of cycling in its most enjoyable form.
