Veneto Gravel is an adventure to be enjoyed in complete freedom, but behind the scenes there is a careful organization that takes care of every aspect of the experience.
It all starts at the starting village, where you’ll be welcomed by our staff, receive your event pack, and immediately soak up the unique atmosphere of the event, meeting other participants from all over Italy and abroad.
Every year, cyclists from over 20 countries gather to embark on an unforgettable journey along a GPS track that traverses the incredible variety of the Veneto region: rivers, hills, historic villages, plains, and mountain views.
At the start, we will record your time and give you the official brevet, to be stamped at the checkpoints along the route to enter the renowned FINISHER register.
I checkpoint segnano il tuo passaggio e ti ricordano che, anche se viaggi da solo, fai parte di qualcosa di più grande.
Upon arrival, you’ll find showers available and a delicious meal, included in your registration fee.
A moment of refreshment and sharing to best end your adventure.
The GPS track is the result of months of exploration and updates, designed to offer you the best of Veneto, kilometer after kilometer.
