About
Racing on and around the Nurburgring Nordschleife is a gravel experience unlike any other. The Rad am Ring Gravel Race offers 50, 100 or 125 km with 2,750 m of elevation, blending sections of the legendary Green Hell with the forested gravel tracks of the Eifel region in Rhineland-Palatinate. Hosting the German Gravel Championship raises the competitive bar, though shorter distances keep the event accessible to a broader field. The demanding elevation profile rewards riders who have built power on sustained climbs: in Push Training 360 the threshold-building phase and weekly coach review are designed so you control the Eifel ramps from kilometre one without paying the price in the final 40.
