Parle Gravel Adventure Race 2026

The Parle Gravel Adventure Race is a long-distance cycling ultra from Poznań toward Kołobrzeg on the Baltic coast, following the concept of riding west until the sea is visible. Riders begin at 6:00 AM from the race base at Decathlon Winogrady in Poznań, with start details also available at Rezerwat Przygody on Floriana Znanieckiego Street. The event presents two challenging routes: approximately 406 km and 290 km, both with a 38-hour time limit. The course is designed to avoid busy, monotonous roads, making the challenge not only the distance but also maintaining focus and efficient movement across varied terrain in Poland. A distinct road-bike route is offered for those preferring to complete the distance on faster road bikes instead of gravel setups. Starts are conducted in waves, and each distance is limited to 150 participants, ensuring a manageable field for an ultra-distance event while providing companionship during the overnight ride.
