Gravel Birds Ultracycling 2027

Gravel Birds Ultracycling is an unsupported bikepacking challenge in the land without shadows – Alentejo, Portugal.

The routes of Gravel Birds Ultracycling cross some of the most remote, isolated, and challenging territories in Portugal and Southwestern Europe. Gravel Birds is not a gravel race or an ultramarathon. The routes are designed for a true bikepacking and adventure cycling experience. Gravel Birds is much more than a long-distance ride — it is an environmental and sociocultural journey, deeply connected with the landscapes, traditions, and people of Alentejo.

In 2027, Gravel Birds Ultracycling will feature three routes: L’Abetarda, Gravel Birds Classic 750, and the epic Gravel Birds XL 1000. All start and finish in the town of Castro Verde.
