THE GRALLOCH SCOTLAND'S GRAVEL FESTIVAL
The Gralloch returns 15-17 May 2026. Don't miss three days of gravel racing, Sportives, music, food, adventure and more.
Ride the Wild Beauty of Galloway
A TRUE GRAVEL CLASSIC
The Gralloch is Britain’s premier gravel cycling festival, celebrating endurance, adventure and world-class riding in the heart of Scotland.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Galloway Forest Park, the weekend offers something for every kind of rider: a UCI Gravel World Series race, the new 330-kilometre Ultra, and a non-competitive Sportive for those who prefer to take in the views at their own pace.
But The Gralloch is more than just riding. Across the weekend you’ll find shakeout rides, panel talks, live music, local food, craft beer and a buzzing Event Village in the heart of Gatehouse of Fleet.
Come for the challenge, stay for the atmosphere, and be part of something unforgettable.
