Event Overview
Gravelista is a cycling event held in Seymour, Victoria, with the event hub and start/finish at Seymour Racecourse. The 2026 edition takes place on Sunday, 25 October 2026 and offers three ride options: 135km, 95km and 50km, with both UCI age-category racing and recreational participation. The schedule includes separate start windows for each distance and category, with presentations later in the day.
What the Course Demands
Across the distances, the routes are described as mostly rolling, with longer open sections and intermittent sealed connectors near the start and finish. The 135km course includes a short neutral rollout before the main looped riding, and features the Wicket Hill Climb as a key pinch point (about 1km with a sustained, steep average). Riders should expect repeated efforts and pacing decisions to matter, particularly on the longer option.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits cyclists preparing for a structured race or timed ride over rolling terrain, including those targeting UCI age-category qualification and those wanting a longer recreational challenge. The 135km option best fits experienced riders comfortable with repeated harder climbs within a long day. The 95km provides a shorter race-format option, while the 50km is more appropriate for newer participants building confidence over an organised event route.
