From 1-3 October 2021, this is your official invitation to come along for the ride.

What is Grinduro?

The format of Grinduro is exactly as the name suggests: three days of riding on incredible gravel courses, using a mountain bike-style enduro timing system. Essentially, it’s one long loop made up of pavement, dirt, gravel, where your result isn’t measured on overall time, but on four timed segments, all around five-to-ten minutes long with all kinds of characteristics and styles – uphill, downhill, asphalt, gravel, or even singletrack.

The main route on Saturday is around 80 km long, with 2,000 m of elevation gain. There are four timed sections.

And of course if racing isn’t your thing then a shorter, more chilled out, and untimed ‘Grindurito’ route option is available!

It’s party time

Grinduro isn’t just about racing. It’s a celebration with as much emphasis on the fun as the ride, with top food, live music, camping, and a proper festival atmosphere.

In short: we’ll all just be there to have a good time.

To quote Grinduro themselves:

this is an event with the ultimate party-to-race ratio
