Event overview

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.

This event is part of Exeter Gravel Races.
