The 2025 event will follow a three-lap format, with all categories completing approximately 45 kilometres in total.

Each lap begins with a 5-kilometre section along the beach, followed by an exit over the dunes and a return via a mix of singletrack and doubletrack. After passing through the arena, riders head back to the beach to begin the next lap.

The return off the beach changes each lap, ensuring the leaders have a clearer path to the finish while creating a more enjoyable experience for recreational riders. The spread-out field also allows us to include more fun singletrack throughout the course.

The Gravel Rally is a micro-adventure that plants your tyres firmly on the earth beneath you over a range of historic terrain.
Paying homage to the traditional motor rally scene that has been echoing around the mountains and forests of Eryri National Park for over 80 years, there are 8 timed sectors (6 for short route) along a course that has to be tackled within a single day.
Full or short route, let us whisk you away into a deep-rooted and hearty challenge.
