ABOUT
A True Gravel Classic
THE GRALLOCH
Gralloch /ɡralək/ [noun] a deer’s entrails · [verb] to disembowel a deer Origin: Gaelic grealach
The Gralloch takes its name from the land it’s rooted in — wild, rugged and deeply Scottish. Its gravel trails cut through one of the country’s most beautiful and unspoilt regions, where forest, hill and coastline meet. It is the perfect stage for an event that tests determination, skill and spirit in equal measure.
Our ambition is simple. We aim to create a world-leading gravel event that unites every corner of the gravel community — racers, adventurers and explorers alike — in this remarkable part of Scotland.
Whether you are racing for UCI qualification, taking on the immense challenge of the 330-kilometre Ultra, or riding the Sportive at your own pace, The Gralloch offers the same sense of purpose and pride. Every route, every climb and every kilometre is part of a shared experience that celebrates the best of gravel riding: challenge, camaraderie and connection to the land.
