The Okanagan Graveller is a grassroots gravel cycling event offering authentic endurance challenges across epic Okanagan Valley terrain.
What this race demands
Okanagan Graveller demands sustained power output and climbing efficiency to manage 2000 meters of elevation across a 120-kilometer gravel route.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 2000 meters of elevation over 120 kilometers requires sustained climbing efforts and proper pacing on sustained gradients throughout the Okanagan Valley terrain.
Gravel durability
Riding 120 kilometers on gravel surfaces demands technical control and physical resilience to maintain efficiency over rougher terrain for an extended duration.
Heat management
A late June event in West Kelowna requires proactive thermoregulation and hydration strategies to sustain performance through warm summer conditions.
A 120-kilometer gravel event typically exceeds four hours for most participants, requiring a target carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to sustain output.
