THE OG IS BACK

Welcome to one of the original grassroots gravel riding events.
After a 4-year hiatus, we are ready again to welcome hard-core gravel grinders to Raglan Whāingaroa.

This time you have 2 race options to choose from:

The “short” 58km or the “long” 85km option.

Both distances require a reasonable level of fitness.  Remember: not a single road on the Waikato west coast is flat.

Got a gravel bike, cyclo cross, mountain bike or anything in between?
