Gorge Gravel

Gorge Gravel is the largest gravel event in the Pacific Northwest and the perfect early spring event for beginner riders to seasoned gravel gurus! Test your fitness coming out of the winter with beautiful views, pure gravel camaraderie, and a pre and post-ride celebration based in Oregon's gem of gravel, Dufur. Gorge offers challenging competition for racers and also a supportive, inclusive ride for fresh gravel converts, with the innovative gravel pace group program. 

Dufur is one of the best springtime riding secrets in the Northwest. Moderate marine air flowing inland from the coast, coupled with being just on the other side of the Cascade Mountain Range rain shadow, it’s your best bet for sun and warm temps from March through May each year. Surrounding the amazing town of Dufur are hundreds of miles of gravel farm roads with little to no motor traffic on them.

Gorge sold out last year and the team at Breakaway Promotions wants to make sure you can saddle up for this early-season gravel with something for every riding level with the 45-mile Small Gravel (great for first-time racers!), 65-mile Medium Gravel, and the 100-mile Big Gravel. Register today!

Categories include pro, open, junior, and masters. Awards go to the top three for each category. 

Registration includes; a Custom Pint Glass, Lunch, Custom T-Shirt, Beer, Fully Stocked Aid Stations located every 20-25 miles along the course, 

Well Marked and Amazing Courses, Chip Timing, and Mechanical Support!

Enjoy your full weekend in Dufur. 

We have tent camping, car camping, and RV hookup spots available for rent at Dufur City Park that you can add on to your registration. 2024 will once again celebrate with the Party in the Park after the ride the night before, raising money for the local Dufur Ranger Pride Foundation. After the ride, the party will continue with premium catering, music, the Fat Tire New Belgium Post-Ride Celebration, and games on hand to keep you entertained.

VOLUNTEERS KEEP US ROLLING! Help us put on a great event and cheer on the riders while you support their ride.
