SBT GRVL returns for 2026, bringing riders to Steamboat Springs, CO for one of the most challenging events on the gravel calendar. With 142 mi of racing across ranch road, it is the kind of event that defines seasons and separates contenders from pretenders.
The route demands respect. 9,500 ft of elevation change means no rider can afford to go out too hard — pacing strategy matters here more than anywhere else on the calendar. The top finishers will be those who have done their homework in the months leading up to the start line.
What makes SBT GRVL special is not just the numbers but the culture around it. Whether you are racing or spectating, the atmosphere in Steamboat Springs, CO in the days leading up to the event is unlike anything else in gravel cycling. The community that gathers here understands that they are participating in something larger than a race.
