About the race
Electric bikes are allowed on the shorter distances (70 and 110 km). Not on the longest distance (160 km) because of time registration.
There will be 3 stops respectively on the longest distance (160 km), 2 on the middle distance (110 km) and 1 on the shortest distance (70 km).
Yes. No separate zones will be set up. Refuelling is allowed everywhere along the route. Please be considerate of other road users and other participants at all times. Do not leave any rubbish behind!
The course consists mainly of forest and sandy soil, interspersed with rocks. We suggest to choose something you are comfortable with. A bit of grip at the side is always nice to have. Possible to ride with every width available.
Yes, but... Participants on the shorter distances can test their speed on certain sections. However, they will not be included in the overall standings.
If you want a chance to win one of the coins awarded based on 'performance', you need to finish before 3pm. Those who finish between 3pm and 5pm do still have a chance to win one of the coins handed out through the lottery. The finish line closes at 5pm for all distances.
About the lottery
This 'coin' entitles you to buy 1 ticket for Unbound Gravel 2025. If you do not wish to participate in Unbound Gravel 2025, you can refuse the 'coin'. The coin will then go to the next person in the classification.
At 3pm, the official podium ceremony for the longest distance begins. At 5pm, the lottery will follow.
Yes. Those who are not present cannot receive a 'coin'.
