GravelMan Breizh St-Malo begins in Saint-Méloir-des-Ondes, near Saint-Malo in Ille-et-Vilaine, on Brittany’s north coast. This March cycling event is part of the GravelMan Series, designed for gravel and road bikes, not a single race format. Participants select from around ten route choices, with distances ranging from 60 km to 500 km, allowing the same weekend to accommodate a shorter coastal ride or a demanding ultra-distance effort.
The routes are set in northern Brittany, including sections along the Emerald Coast and the Goëlo coast. Longer routes extend east into Normandy, reaching Mont-Saint-Michel. The event is part of GravelMan’s long-distance cycling domain, where endurance is as important as speed. Its motto reflects this: “Start with legs, finish with mental.” The event’s first edition was in September before it moved to its March timing, offering participants an early-season test following winter.
