Migration Gravel Race (MGR) is widely considered one of the toughest and most extreme gravel races in the world. It takes place in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya and is a four-day stage race covering roughly 650 km in total across rugged gravel roads, dirt tracks, cattle paths, and wildlife areas. The race is split into four stages, typically ranging from around 140–180 km per day, with significant elevation gain and highly variable terrain. Riders race through remote savannah landscapes where they share the route with wildlife, local communities, and safari traffic, making both navigation and endurance a major part of the challenge. MGR is known not only for its physical difficulty, but also for its heat, altitude, and the mental resilience required to complete a multi-day ultra-endurance race in the African wilderness.

Megre Gravel is not just a race; it’s a journey into the soul of Lithuania’s gravel culture. Held in the scenic region of Zarasai, Utena, this is where endurance, community and Baltic grit collide. The terrain may not boast high mountains, but it demands every ounce of your strength — with 143 km of fast, honest gravel and over 1,300 meters of elevation gain.

Cykelvasan 90 is Sweden’s largest mountain bike race and part of the Vasaloppet week. The race covers 95 km from Sälen to Mora, following the iconic Vasaloppet trail through forests, gravel roads, and wetlands in the Dalarna region. It attracts both elite riders and amateur cyclists and is considered one of the most prestigious MTB events in the Nordic countries. Nathalie has competed in Cykelvasan for the past two years, showing strong progression and achieving a 3rd place finish in 2024.

Gravel Grit ’n Grind is one of Sweden’s biggest and most competitive gravel cycling events, held in Halmstad on the west coast of Sweden. The race takes riders through a mix of forest gravel roads, rolling countryside, coastal sections, and fast farm roads, with a course designed to be both physically demanding and highly selective. The event typically runs over a multi-day weekend format (prolog + long gravel race + shorter final stage), and includes a UCI Gravel World Series qualifier race, making it an important event for both elite and ambitious amateur riders. The main race day is usually around 90–150 km, depending on category, with significant climbing and varied terrain that tests both endurance and power.

It will be exciting to see whether Nathalie Eklund can defend the national gravel jersey for the third year in a row, or if someone will be able to challenge her.

Gravel Burn (Nedbank Gravel Burn) is one of the most ambitious and extreme gravel stage races in the world, held in South Africa. It is a 7-day solo stage race covering roughly 750–850 km through some of the country’s most remote and dramatic landscapes. The race starts in Knysna (Western Cape) and finishes in the Eastern Cape, often at or near a private game reserve. Riders traverse a huge variety of terrain, including coastal forests, rough gravel roads, mountain passes, and the vast Great Karoo semi-desert. Each day is a timed stage, and the overall classification is based on cumulative time across all seven stages. Riders stay in fully supported “Burn Camps” each night, creating a mix between ultra-endurance racing and a remote stage-race expedition.

Unbound Gravel is one of the world’s most prestigious and demanding gravel bike races. It takes place every year in Emporia, Kansas (USA), and attracts both professional and amateur riders from all over the world. The main event covers around 200 miles (320 km) of challenging gravel roads across the Flint Hills, where unpredictable weather, wind, and terrain make it an extremely tough and unpredictable race. Maja and Nathalie both took part in Unbound Gravel 2025, marking their first-ever experience at this iconic event. Nathalie has since chosen to return and will be racing again in the 2026 edition, continuing her journey in one of the most iconic races in gravel cycling.

The Traka is one of the biggest and most prestigious gravel cycling events in Europe. It takes place every spring in Girona, Spain, and has become a major international gathering for gravel riders, from elite professionals to ambitious amateurs. The event is structured around multiple distances (typically 100 km, 200 km, 360 km and an ultra-distance around 560 km), all starting and finishing in Girona. The routes take riders through the surrounding Empordà region and the Gavarres hills, featuring a mix of fast gravel roads, steep climbs, technical sections, and long endurance stretches. The Traka is known not only as a race, but also as a full gravel festival, where Girona becomes a global hub for cycling culture during race week.

The Hills Gravel Race is a gravel cycling race held in the Prosecco Hills region in northern Italy. The event starts and finishes in Susegana, in the Veneto region, and takes riders through the UNESCO-listed Prosecco hills, known for their steep climbs, scenic vineyards, and demanding gravel roads. The main race is around 120 km with approximately 2,300 meters of elevation gain, with a route that is mostly off-road and designed to be both fast and highly selective. The course features a mix of short, punchy climbs and technical gravel sections, making it a challenging one-day endurance race for experienced gravel riders.
