About the Event

The Gralloch: A Celebration of Off-Road Cycling Excellence
Set amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Galloway Forest Park, The Gralloch is an iconic gravel cycling event that pushes riders to their limits on some of Scotland’s most challenging and scenic off-road terrain. As Britain's pioneering UCI Gravel World Series race, it offers a unique blend of competition and camaraderie for cyclists from all walks of life.
The course itself is a true test of skill and endurance, weaving through rugged trails that showcase the beauty and diversity of the forest park’s natural environment. Whether you are vying for top honors or simply enjoying the ride at your own pace in the non-competitive Sportive category, The Gralloch provides an unparalleled experience on world-class gravel tracks.
Beyond the racing action, the event weekend is a vibrant celebration of cycling culture with plenty to keep everyone entertained. Shakeout rides offer opportunities for riders to acclimate and explore additional routes within Galloway Forest Park, while live music performances and a bustling Event Village bring together cyclists and supporters in an atmosphere that buzzes with excitement.
The expo area features exhibitors showcasing the latest gear and innovations in gravel cycling, complemented by great food and drink options. For those looking to extend their stay, camping is available right on site, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in this special weekend of off-road riding excellence.
