Ottogravel 2026

Ottogravel is a June weekend gravel bikepacking race held in Pienza, located in Tuscany's Val d'Orcia. Participants select between an 83 km route featuring 1,940 m of elevation gain or a 212 km route with 4,700 m, meaning the shorter option remains challenging and the longer one constitutes a substantial two-day undertaking. The routes traverse Tuscany's renowned white roads near Siena, avoiding smooth road-race asphalt. The event emphasizes the bikepacking aspect of gravel riding: participants cycle, enjoy craft beer, camp in tents, and continue riding. Ottogravel organizes the weekend, with entry fees ranging from €20 to €70.
