The Affric Gravel Sportive is set for Saturday 3 October 2026, with riders gathering at Blairbeg Park in Inverness, where the event both begins and concludes. This grassroots cycling challenge weaves together a blend of gravel tracks and road sections, threading its way through two Highland glens. The route presents a demanding physical test against the sweeping backdrop of the Scottish landscape, where the terrain shifts unpredictably from rough, stony trails to smoother, more forgiving stretches. Participants are free to tackle the course at their own rhythm, with the atmosphere defined not by fierce competition but by the shared sense of effort among the group. Entry prices are available on the event website.
