Migration Gravel Race is a Gravel Earth Series event that's known for being one of the wildest out there. Taking riders over 640km of Kenyan heat, they'll travel through single track, game trails, red clay and hard-pack gravel. YT Industries' rider Sami Sauri took on the race and documented her experience.

That 650km includes 8,000m of elevation through Kenya's Maasai Mara and riders need to be pre-approved in order to take on the event. It takes place over four days with four stages.
This documentary follows Sami Sauri from the start to the very end and even unveils her custom YT Industries Szepter that was painted especially for the event. Even though Migration Gravel Race takes Sami through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, this video proves that they don't come easy and the event certainly isn't without its challenges.
