About

The Sauerland Gravel Event in Olsberg-Bruchhausen is primarily a two-wheeled celebration in the heart of the Rhenish Sauerland. Three distances, 35, 70 and 105 km, cater to riders of all abilities, while separate categories for professionals, hobby riders, children, and guided e-bike participants reflect the event's inclusive spirit. A gear expo and festival atmosphere make it an ideal gathering for families and friends wanting to explore the forest tracks and rolling hills of North Rhine-Westphalia without race pressure. For riders targeting the 105 km route as a mid-season check, Push Training 360 treats it as a controlled load block to field-test nutrition strategies and calibrate pacing under real gravel conditions.
