The Traka returns for 2026, bringing riders to for one of the most challenging events on the gravel calendar. With 360 km of racing across gravel, it is the kind of event that defines seasons and separates contenders from pretenders.
The route demands respect. 4000 m 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 The Traka special is not just the numbers but the culture around it. Whether you are racing or spectating, the atmosphere in 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.
