Wörthersee Gravel Race 2026

The Wörthersee Gravel Race is a UCI Gravel World Series event starting and finishing in Velden am Wörthersee, Carinthia, on a closed loop of gravel, forest tracks and asphalt that riders complete several times. The main race, Beat Gralf, serves as a qualifier for the UCI Gravel World Championships, with elite and age-group rankings and distances set by age category. The same weekend includes Catch Gralf, a timed open race where riders choose one or two laps, and Find Gralf, an untimed ride on open roads that also allows e-bikes. Fields are capped in the high hundreds to low thousands and usually sell out, drawing international elites alongside ambitious amateurs.
