Stoemperstocht Gravel 2026

The Stoemperstocht Gravel begins and ends in Putten, located on the northern Veluwe in the Netherlands. Participants can choose from marked off-road routes of 35, 50, and 70 km. This event is designed for gravel and mountain bike enthusiasts seeking predominantly unpaved terrain, technical challenges, and a final test before the winter riding season. Helmets are required, and each distance includes a single aid station. SV Putten is the organizing body. The course features numerous singletracks and nearly all dirt paths, crossing gently rolling terrain through secluded heathland and forest areas north of the Veluwe. Practical amenities are provided, including showers, changing rooms, washing facilities, a bike wash, supervised bike parking, and bike rental. The entry fee is reasonable, with shorter distances costing less than the longest option. Parking is available at Hooiweg 4 in Putten.
