Gorge Gravel- 10 Days to Gorge Gravel — Get Ready!

[Oregon Gravel Grinder Info]

GORGE GRAVEL - APRIL 26 ~ Dufur, OR Greetings Gravel Adventurers, We are just 10 days away from the start of the Oregon Gravel Series, and this year’s Gorge Gravel Festival is going to be NEXT LEVEL.  Register now! ­  NEW COURSES FOR 2026!  Gorge Gravel may be the longest-running gravel race in the Northwest, but we’re always pushing to keep it fresh. After 13 incredible years, we’re heading in a bold new direction. This year’s course travels due west through the foothills of the Cascade Range and into the legendary Mt. Hood National Forest. Riders will experience a stunning transition from rolling wheatlands and scattered oaks to towering ponderosa pines and dense green forests- all with breathtaking views of Mt. Hood along the way. This is the biggest course update we’ve ever made, and last weekend’s Special Blend Gravel Camp riders who previewed the short course absolutely loved it. There is something for every rider- with the 44 mile Small Gravel, 64 mile Medium Gravel, and 94 mile Big Gravel courses.   ­ NEXT LEVEL EXPERIENCE The upgrades don’t stop with the courses.  Our aid stations and on-course support are getting a serious boost this year.  Expect high energy at every stop, plus some brand-new treats we’re excited to roll out for the first time. FULL FESTIVAL VIBE Gorge Gravel continues to deliver the most bang for your buck. Enjoy free coffee, beer, a full-service taco bar, games, s’mores, Fat Tire Celebration Station, music, and of course, the biggest cornhole tournament in the Columbia River Gorge- the legendary Castelli Cornhole Clash (sign up now!), complete with cash prizes.  All of the celebration above is included in your registration fees! ­ GRAVEL 101 CLINIC, Saturday 12-2 pm New to gravel?  Check out our Gravel Pace Group Program and free Gravel 101 clinic.  Join the crew of Campfire Endurance Coaching at this FREE  beginner-friendly session, aimed at helping cyclists make the transition to riding and racing on gravel by building confidence and comfort on riding unpaved terrain.
