SEPTEMBER 30 - OCTOBER 2
Join us for a weekend that was 50 million years in the making! The phenomenal landscapes of the Rhenish Massif, created from volcanic rock, are what make the Eifel region so famous, and a place that both delights and tortures cyclists. It is thus no surprise that we chose the Eifel to host such a wild event as Grinduro Germany. But what exactly is Grinduro? It’s a combo of a gravel grinder road race and mountain bike enduro: one long loop on all kinds of terrain, where finishing times aren’t based on overall loop time, but four timed segments.
The routes are both beautiful and challenging, mixing in everything from pavement, gravel and single trail. Grinduro is held in enduro format, with four stages ridden in race mode, the rest of the tour can be enjoyed without time pressure. It's both beautiful and challenging. With a well-balanced mix of paved and unpaved, flat and hilly, fast and technical, social and competitive.

At its heart, the unique format of GRINDURO combines the best elements of a mountain bike enduro with a gravel grinder-style road race. But the magic happens when you add great food, an art & bike festival, high-quality music and camping in an epic location.
It’s a winning formula with a global following, making the word GRINDURO! a rallying cry for a burgeoning category of adventure cycling.
