GravelMan Series Marseille 2026

The GravelMan Series Marseille is a December cycling event held in Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, southern France. Participants can select a road or gravel course, with distances offered at approximately 60, 120, 200, 350, and 500 kilometers. This range allows the event to accommodate both a long day of riding and a complete ultra-endurance weekend. The gravel courses feature about 60-70% off-road terrain, whereas the road courses remain on asphalt. The longest distances include up to approximately 7,000 meters of climbing. Riders tackling the 500 km and 350 km routes begin early Friday, having 55 and 48 hours respectively to complete their rides. The 200 km event commences on Saturday morning. The event is designed for a wide range of cyclists, from novices to seasoned bikepackers. The challenging terrain of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region requires significant mental fortitude from participants.
