Gravel Earth Series 2025: 25 races, 15 countries, and increased prize money

Facing the Gravel World Series promoted by the UCI, the Gravel Earth Series continue to grow and fit into a more traditional gravel competition concept, where long distances and stage events take precedence over the world's main races. In 2025, they will have juicier cash prizes to continue establishing their proposal and attracting the main figures of the discipline.

The winners of the Gravel Earth Series will share €37,500

On February 15th, the Gravel Earth Series will kick off, the most relevant gravel test circuit on the international scene with the permission of the UCI Gravel World Series promoted by the International Cycling Federation. A competition that will start in Spain, specifically with the celebration of the Santa Vall. Spain will also host the circuit's closure at the end of September with the Ranxo Gravel event.

After this event, the rest of the Gravel Earth Series races will follow, which will have a total of 25 tests, six more than the previous edition. A circuit that will have an overall classification distributing €37,500 among the top 10 finishers in each of the three categories: male, female, and non-binary, of which €2,500 will be the amount assigned to the winner of each category.

The classifications will be determined by the sum of the four best rankings recorded throughout the season, with participation in the Ranxo Gravel event being mandatory to be able to compete for victory in the final classification.

It is worth noting the return of several races that were part of the original Gravel Earth Series circuit, including some of the world's leading events such as The Traka, Migration Gravel Race, The Rift, and the Ranxo Gravel event itself.

The Gravel Earth Series emphasizes that the tests that make up the circuit are not only aimed at elite athletes but also offer options for any fan who wants to challenge themselves in the different events and enjoy gravel riding. In fact, when selecting the included tests, the landscape value, environmental respect, and promotion of sustainable and responsible gravel riding have been taken into account.
