Tier 3 — Regional Favorites

138 races · Scored & ranked by Gravel God

The Solid tier is where gravel gets personal. These are the races your local riding crew talks about all winter — the events that define a region's gravel identity. Smaller fields, raw courses, and the kind of post-race camaraderie that only happens when everyone shares the same mud-caked suffering.
