GravelMan Orleans

GravelMan Orléans is an inaugural Route and Gravel ultra-endurance cycling event in the Val de Loire, France. Located about 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris, the event is designed for riders interested in long-distance gravel, road cycling, bikepacking and outdoor adventure. The routes combine gravel paths, forests, Loire riverbanks, rural roads and landscapes within the UNESCO-listed Loire Valley. The event offers ten formats: Gravel or Road, each over distances of just under 500, 350, 200, 120 and 60 kilometers. The 500 km route includes around 5,000 meters of elevation gain and is described as an expert course. The 350 km route has around 4,000 meters of elevation gain and is presented as a more adventurous long-distance option. The 200 km route includes around 2,500 meters of elevation gain and is intended as an accessible entry into GravelMan. The 120 km and 60 km routes are designed to be accessible, with lower elevation gain.
