Gravel Races & Rides in the United States

Gravel is where the sport is growing — long days on dirt roads, aid stations that feel like tailgates, and a start line that doesn’t care what you ride or how fast.

If you’re a roadie thinking about your first gravel event: pick something under 50 miles, run the widest tires your frame clears, and don’t train for it like a road race — steady beats punchy when the surface is loose. The rest is showing up.

Grinders, unpaved fondos, and dirt tours below — pulled from live registration data and updated as organizers post new dates.
