Gravel Macedon
Overview Map
We’ve reworked every course for 2026: less traffic, smoother flow, and more time doing what you love: riding epic gravel. Each distance now rolls through local towns, so you can soak up the atmosphere and refuel your way (coffee, bakery stops, pies… you know the drill).

The 52km short course is now more achievable and more fun for more riders. It features 25% less elevation, with less severe gradients. It’s still a challenge, but far more achievable.

Elevation: 945m
Gravel: 81%
75km Route
The 75km middle course is around 15km shorter than before, with reduced overall elevation and more gradual climbing. It remains a rewarding challenge but sits nicely as the perfect middle distance.

Elevation: 1,750m
Gravel: 76%
126km Route
Then there’s the 126km full distance. This one retains most of the elevation, includes some longer sustained climbs, passes through four different towns, and stays predominantly off sealed roads, with 76% of the route on gravel.
