NORDIC GRVL Grinder 2024

- part of Gravel Earth Series

In the aftermath of the major one-day races and monuments in cycling, the "NORDIC GRVL Grinder" has been created. This race is our answer to a true Nordic "NEW MONUMENT" in gravel cycling.

Are you into gravel, winding trails, vast landscapes, and the beautiful Danish nature?

Then you will feel at home in this event, which aims to be one of the most beautiful and spectacular experience races in the Nordic region.

NORDIC Grinder is a challenge but also a grand "GRAVEL FEST" that will provide all participants with an unforgettable experience. Unleash your inner "Grinder" and start your preparations today!
 

ROUTES

The routes are a good mix of gravel, trails, and asphalt. The routes are designed to challenge your endurance primarily, not your technical skills.

The 3 distances:
- 200km, approximately 1700hm, with up to 70% gravel.
- 130km, approximately 1200hm, with up to 70% gravel.
- 80km, approximately 700hm, with up to 70% gravel.

The routes will be disclosed approximately 3 days before the start. All routes will be ridden as a "GPS race"; you must navigate yourself, with only a few signs along the route.
