​Grelly ’27 is a self-supported bikepacking event = NO external support allowed! Riders may only use services accessible to everyone (shops, hotels, restaurants, local bike shops, …) or accept friendly, unsolicited help from passersby.

The track of your choice will be shared ONE WEEK before the event. You must follow and complete this track within the prescribed time limit. When, at some point during the challenge, you leave the track, you must rejoin it at the very same point to continue. Please note that the final track distance may differ slightly from the one initially announced. Designing a safe and rideable route for all participants is a complex and sometimes unpredictable process, and last-minute adjustments are sometimes part of it.

Recommended bikes: A gravel bike with at least 45mm tires and small gearing or a mountainbike: Comfort is more important than pure speed. NO electric bikes are allowed. Of course: No motor, no public transport – just you, your legs and your bike

The registration fee is 165 € per rider to cover all the costs.

This fee includes:
– Use of a GPS-tracker (no deposit required; we trust you to return it at the end of the event),
– Free breakfast before the start for both 3- and 4-days adventure,
– One (or more) food station(s) along the route, exact location will be given before the start,
– Goodie bag (with the support of our Partners) including a unique Grelly cycling item,
– Rider’s guide with detailed and practical information,
– Bag deposit is available at the start location in Herbeumont,
​- Use of Sportity app for updates (e.g. on track changes, obstacles). All useful documentation will be offline available in the app: including altitude profiles, rider’s guide and all the tracks.
– Chill atmosphere at the start & finish.​
– Last but not least: Great tracks in true Grelly style
