With eight added events in four continents, Gran Fondo World Tour (GFWT) has launched a new series of gravel events as part of a regular gravel series calendar.
The calendar will work with same points and system as GFWT’s road series, but will add a new category for riders who complete three events of the series on gravel.
The new events in Spain, France, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, the USA, Italy and Rwanda offer a range of different gravel landscapes.

“These new events add variety to the calendar and expand our influence beyond pure road gran fondos,” said Dani Buyo, CEO and founder of Gran Fondo World Tour.
“We identify some of our community members as fans of road and gravel equally. This opens a new perspective for us to embrace more people in our community. We are so happy about the new added events. Gravel is a lifestyle where we want everyone involved.”
