Gravel racing finally arrives in the South West. Now’s your chance to try your hand at this fast growing branch of the sport.
This lapped off-road course is mostly on gravel fire roads. So it’s perfect for gravel bikes but also well suited to CX bikes or mountain bikes. This race will be electronically chip timed. Everyone will finish on the same lap so even if you get lapped you will finish within a few minutes of the winner.

Sportiva Events is doing its best to minimise the environmental impact of this event. Here are a few of their initiatives:
For all events that include a t-shirt, there is the option to plant a tree instead through a partnership with Treesnottees.
New paper cups have been sourced to be fully recycled back into high-grade paper.
Reusable zip ties are used and all rubbish is sorted for recycling after the event.
At the Burrator 10K running race those who commit to walking or cycling to the event get £5 discount.
What a fantastic event, brilliant organisation and superb challenging course, had a bit everything. We will be back next year. Jake Goddard
