Ride with purpose, explore indigenous culture, transform communities.

Rez Gravel 2026 is a group adventure, not a traditional race, held on January 17, 2026, in Sacaton, Pinal County, Arizona. Participants can select a 25-mile or 60-mile gravel course traversing lands that are typically closed to the public, accessible only with tribal member guidance. The event offers a powerful mix of physical challenge and indigenous cultural immersion, including an evening cultural dinner. Entry fees directly support impactful community initiatives, such as local bicycle repair and maintenance training. With camping available on-site and a friendly, inclusive atmosphere, Rez Gravel focuses on connection and positive impact rather than competition.

Two route options: 25 miles (“Little Rez Gravel”) or 60 miles (“Big Rez Gravel”). Average pace is about 10 mph. Many sections only accessible with tribal member presence; routes may include challenging stretches typical for Arizona desert.
