RIDE & DANCE IN THE HEART OF THE ALP

Imagine the main event area to be the head and body of the Octopus, and the climbs to be the arms. All 7 arms are dead-end gravel climbs and lead back to the main event area, giving you the possibility to rest, have some food and drinks, listen to some great beats and check out the event expo, before then tackling the next segment. Challenge yourself and find out how many of the 7 gravel climbs you can do in a day. On top of every climb you receive a stamp. The maximum amount of riding would be 155km with 4450 vertical gain.

OFFICIAL RANKING

Let’s race! Octopus Gravel also offers 4 timed climbs between 4K and 6K. Only bikers who complete a minimum of six of the seven legs, including the 4 timed sections, will be part of the official classification and will obtain points for the Gravel Earth Series ranking.
