2026 Colorado & Wyoming Gravel Race Calendar

With gravel racing/riding exploding, and so many awesome races taking place in awesome corners of Wyoming and Colorado (and some bordering areas, just because), it’s time to get everything in one neat and tidy list!

I am starting to post 2026 dates as they become available!  The 2025 calendar is also listed for reference.  

____________________________

If you know of an event I have missed, please comment below with details/website.  This list is specifically for gravel events, please see my mountain bike calendar if the event is more that style.  Thanks!

I pulled all these dates off of the official event websites and communications with race directors. Please check official websites for any changes/cancellations – I will try to note when possible, but sometimes I cannot keep up.  Also several races on this list are lottery-entry, or sell out pretty darn quickly, so always check websites for full registration details and processes.
