Drum roll please… the 2026 Highlands Gravel Classic did not disappoint! The day started with a dense fog and cooler temps that opened up to let the sun shine and dry up some of the rain from the previous day. We heard all day how the course was brutal but extremely rewarding, making it a proper qualifier for the UCI Gravel Worlds (in Australia this year).
Here are some of our favorite moments from the day!
We want to thank all the athletes, staff, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone that came out to cheer, for making it such an amazing event!
Please share the post with a friend and follow us for more race day stoke like this.
We aim to make next year even better! We hope to see you then! 🫶🏼
