OVER gravel onE FIfTy

Gravel One Fifty is a cycling event for everyone, from top athletes to weekend cyclists. We ride over sand, gravel, grass, and asphalt, as the focus is on off-road cycling. This discipline is known as gravel riding or gravel racing.

Gravel One Fifty is a so-called qualifying event; by achieving a good result in this event, participants can qualify for the UCI World Championship Gravel in Limburg later this year. That is not the goal for everyone, as there are also participants who simply want to enjoy a beautiful bike ride.

Gravel One Fifty is your chance to qualify for the UCI World Championship Gravel 2025. You can choose for a route of 85 km or 150 km. You will ride a large loop through the beautiful landscape of Drenthe. You can participate in an age category or Elite category.

SAFETY

Because the event is a cross between a competition and a performance tour, there is a lot of cycling. Since we do this on public roads, we take care of safety in the following ways:

The participants are preceded and accompanied by motorcycles, which are operated from a central command post. They ensure attentiveness among participants and other traffic and keep an eye on safety.

All intersections will be secured by traffic controllers for one hour after the arrival of the first participants.

Participants are part of the traffic and must adhere to the traffic rules, and are aware of this.
