Located in Tweed Valley, at the Scottish Borders, the gravel weekend festival offers participants a blend of competitive racing and various other activities. The riding spans Saturday and Sunday, featuring six timed stages accumulated in a general classification format for overall results (meaning the one with the fastest cumulative time over all stages wins). Beyond the stages, riders can unwind and enjoy the experience with friends.
There are three riding options available: short (approximately 40km), long (75km), and adaptive.
In addition to the riding, the weekend boasts a plethora of off-the-bike activities at the festival village. Attendees can enjoy live music, films, an expo featuring event partners, camping, yoga, a bar area, food, and various family-friendly activities on the Traquair House grounds.
Weekend entries start at £100 for the short route, with one-day passes priced at £65. Non-riding companions can join for £20 to access the event village activities.
Registrations are currently open, and full weekend riding entries are limited to 400 spaces.
