About
Conquer Colorado’s peaks in a gravel challenge built for all.
Ned Gravel takes place July 12, 2025, in Nederland, Colorado. This celebrated event offers four race courses—Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Tungsten—catering to everyone from beginners to seasoned gravel racers. Set at high altitude amid the Rockies, participants will ride past historic mining sites, ghost towns, and through breathtaking mountain landscapes. Core values include inclusivity, diversity, fun, challenge, respect, and safety, underscored by special initiatives to ensure underrepresented groups have access to the start line.
COURSE DETAILS
Four distinct courses: Bronze (10 miles/1,000′), Silver (20 miles/2,200′), Gold (40 miles/4,000′), and Tungsten (70 miles/8,300′). Each begins around Nederland (~8,200′ elevation) and covers varying high-altitude terrain: beginner-friendly pavement and gravel, mixed technical mining roads, long climbs, and epic descents.
