Graveltocht Strade Sallandia Haarle 2026

Graveltocht Strade Sallandia Haarle is a gravel ride starting and finishing at Kerkweg 20 in Haarle, Overijssel, during Haarles Feest, the village's yearly festival. Participants can select between 35 and 70 kilometer routes, both predominantly following unpaved paths across the Salland countryside near Haarle. Haarles Feest and Haarlese Wielerclub SaMo, also known as Sallands Mooiste, organize the event. The ride is designed for gravel bikes, featuring rolling Overijssel lanes and distinctive gravel tracks instead of a road-race atmosphere. Riders check in at the Haarles Feest grounds, receive a wristband and a hot drink before setting off. A mid-route stop provides technical support, sports drink, currant buns, and bananas. Upon finishing, each participant receives a drink token for the festival, concluding the day with the village party rather than just a timing mat. Haarles Feest also provides a separate road-cycling route, contributing to the weekend's character as a local cycling gathering rather than a single-discipline event.
