Merciless Gravel exists to deliver unforgettable gravel adventures in the world’s most iconic locations—seamlessly organised, boldly designed, and deeply rewarding. Our mission is simple: to make exploration on your gravel bike feel epic, worry-free, and wildly enjoyable.
We believe great rides deserve great organisation, and we’re here to make sure every detail is dialled so you can focus on the journey. Together with our community of riders, we’re setting out to discover the best gravel on Earth—one legendary ride at a time.


A global series
We’re building Merciless Gravel into a global series of unforgettable events—each one set in an iconic, soul-stirring location. From ancient landscapes to remote wilderness, every Merciless event will offer riders a unique blend of challenge, culture, and adventure. This is just the beginning—Messenia is the first chapter in a worldwide journey where gravel meets greatness.
A full season of Merciless Gravel events will be unveiled later this year, launching across Europe and beyond for 2026. Expect bold routes, breathtaking backdrops, and the same uncompromising spirit at every stop. Stay tuned—your next adventure could be anywhere.
