Welcome to The Hills Gravel Race: where competitive spirit meets pure freedom Info

Born from the experience and passion of Mattia De Marchi, The Hills Gravel Race is not just a simple competition: it is a challenge against oneself, a manifesto of authentic gravel, and an immersive journey into the heart of the Prosecco Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Starting and finishing in the splendid setting of Borgoluce (Susegana, Treviso) on the 20/03/2027, the event was designed to blend the effort of peak performance with the fun and camaraderie of the outdoors.

A punishing and spectacular route that stretches over 120 km with an impressive 2,300 meters of elevation gain, featuring 17 steep climbs ("muri") and gradients that test even the most experienced riders, across a track that is strictly 95% off-road.

If you are a FOREIGN athlete, you must download the Health Certificate for cardiovascular intensive sport activity and have it filled by the Physician.
