RADL GRVL is returning to South Australia for its third edition after a sellout pilot event in 2024.

Australia’s best and biggest gravel race is back for its huge third edition. Think shakeouts, beach rides, expos, watch parties and a race day filled with the world’s top talent – including Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas and star South Australian cyclist Tiffany Cromwell. RADL GRVL brings you a full week of fun, with ride day for beginners, amateurs and pros set to take place across gravel and paved roads around McLaren Vale on Friday 23 January. Go all in and tackle the full 112km route, or opt for the 34km option and save a little energy for the action ahead.

INAUGURAL OCEANIA CYCLING GRAVEL CHAMPIONSHIPS

If you need one more reason to line up in McLaren Vale for RADL GRVL, the race will now be the inaugural Oceania Gravel Championships, giving you the opportunity to compete for the white and blue champion's jersey.

GRVL® FEMMES

RADL GRVL FEMMES presented by Wahoo is an amateur women’s team competition for 3 or more riders to race together during RADL GRVL. Grab two or more friends, pick your distance challenge and register your team name now!
