Gravel cycling is a form of cycling that is increasingly appealing to cycling enthusiasts of all levels. The sport of gravel combines road cycling and mountain biking. This means cycling on forest trails, gravel roads and the like.

Here to Stay

The Blåvandshuk area will host the Gravel Challenge Blåvandshuk, a prominent event in the UCI Gravel World Series and considered one of the largest gravel events in Denmark's history. The inaugural event will take place from May 5 to 7, 2023, and it will be an annual fixture moving forward.

 

The Event

The race is designed to challenge professional cyclists, cycling clubs, and enthusiastic amateurs alike.

The event spans over two days.

On the first day, it features a professional UCI Race Event with two qualification routes for the UCI Gravel World Series: 110 km for the age group 60+ (men) and 50+ (women), and 155 km for the age group 19-59 (men) and 19-49 (women).

On the second day, the “Gravel Gourmet Experience” invites all who are interested to participate in one of three different routes: 25 km, 70 km, and 110 km. Each route traverses the stunning and unique nature of the Blåvandshuk area, including Blåvand and Vejers, and visits between 1-5 local restaurants offering refreshments. There are no specific requirements for these cycling routes, so participants can use anything from mountain bikes to e-bikes.

Throughout the weekend, Vejers and the surrounding area will be buzzing with cycling energy. There will be stalls and music at both the start and finish lines, and local shops and restaurants will remain open. Vejers will be adorned with bicycles and flags, with activities planned for both adults and children. It's the perfect opportunity to visit Vejers with family, friends, or your cycling club and experience an exciting cycling weekend.
