Join the seventh annual Gravel Epic Simlångsdalen on July 5, 2026, for a cycling adventure through some of Southern Sweden's most serene gravel roads.

This is not a race, it is a community event!

Participants can choose between two routes: the Epic, covering 110 km with 1,300 meters of elevation gain, and the Classic, spanning 65 km with 600 meters of elevation. Both routes consist of approximately 90% gravel, ensuring a peaceful ride away from traffic.

The event starts and finishes at Knallhult Tångarna, SE-310 38 Simlångsdalen, Sweden, with a 10:00 am departure; riders are advised to arrive 20 minutes early. A staffed depot will be available at the 62 km mark on the Epic route, offering water, sports drinks, bananas, and pastries, with a mandatory stop of at least three minutes. Participants should be self-supported, carrying necessary tools and spare tubes, though limited assistance will be available at the depot. Suitable bikes include gravel, cyclocross, hybrid, or mountain bikes with a minimum tire width of 35 mm, preferably 40+ mm for the longer route. GPS devices are required to follow the course, with routes provided shortly before the event. There is no signage.

Accommodation and dining options are available at Pensionat/Hotel Sågknorren, located just outside Simlångsdalen. They offer a Swedish grill buffet and pub for pre-booked riders, as well as overnight packages. Double rooms (for two people) are available, and single rooms as well, both including a breakfast buffet, please contact the hotel below. Additional amenities such as a hot tub and sauna can be booked separately. For reservations, contact pensionat@sagknorren.se
