Gravel Birds Ultracycling takes place on 2027-05-09 in Castro Verde. Ride 350 / 750 km of gravel with up to 11000 m of climbing.
The Gravel Birds Ultracycling event is a unique self-supported adventure, not a race, challenging riders to test their physical and emotional limits across the Alentejo region. The 2027 edition features two demanding routes: L’Abetarda, covering 350 kilometers with 5000 meters of elevation, and the Gravel Birds Classic, an epic 750-kilometer journey featuring 11000 meters of climbing. Both routes traverse a significant amount of off-road terrain, with 65 percent of the total distance expected to be unpaved, ensuring a true gravel experience. Starting in Castro Verde, Portugal, at 05:00 on May 9, the event promises stunning landscapes and a profound sense of accomplishment. Riders will explore the Alentejo's diverse terrain, known for its rolling hills and vast open spaces. Entry for this extraordinary ultracycling challenge is 280€, and it concludes on May 14.
