…a BRAND NEW GRAVEL CHALLENGE
Sept 14TH/15TH 2024 will see the launch of a brand new challenge… 10 hours of Golden Gravelfoyle racing!
The race format is simple - as many laps of the 25km loop as you can complete in 10 hours. Participants can ride solo or in pairs or teams so that you can share the joy and the pain. Pairs and Teams ride in relay. The person, pair or team with the most loops completed in the fastest time (and lowest overall time) is the winner of that category. A strict 10 hour cut off will be in place; any participant that does not reach base before the final horn will not have that loop recorded, this only adds to the challenge to ensure you are fast enough to beat that horn!
In Gravelfoyle we are blessed with varied and generous trails; where racing in loops will never get boring. In this special 25km route you’ll experience our infamous Gravelfoyle superhighway, flowing fire roads, winding roller coaster trails, punchy climbs and awesome descents.
We know the usual Gravelfoyle event camaraderie will be there in spades - whether you are partying in the pits, smashing the solo laps or riding as a team. Come prepared for 10 hours of riding that will challenge your all-round fitness. A format where strength, skill and determination are bound together with a bit of strategy and tactical thinking. We’ll keep you safe and supported with full signage, our awesome marshals and our medics.
We are keeping the family day on Saturday 14th as well which will see a timed kids race of a 6km route which can be looped twice as a solo or relayed as a pair.
Come along and Conquer the first ever Gravelfoyle 10!
