Cranbrook Gravel Grind

As Good As Gold.

The 2025 Cranbrook Gravel Grind has been Postponed to 2026!

The Cranbrook Gravel Grind (CGG) showcases the world class gravel riding that surrounds Cranbrook, BC. Welcoming any and all riders, the 65 and 112 kilometre routes will showcase the Cranbrook Community Forest, Chief Isadore Trail Network, Trans Canada Trail, and Mount Baker Forestry Service Roads.

The 2025 Cranbrook Gravel Grind has been postponed to 2026 as the Anything Goes Event Series team takes the spring to recharge and spend more time on the bike, explore new roads and gear up for the fifth annual Fernie Gravel Grind.

The CGG offers an incredibly unique experience for new and experienced riders with a course that is designed for cyclists with physical impairment in mind, suiting cyclists of all abilities, hand-cyclists and tandems included.

About the Cranbrook Gravel Grind

Friday Social & Package Pick Up at The Heid Out

Start the weekend off right by picking up your race package and hanging out at our supporting restaurant, The Heid Out, for the evening. Come on in, grab a drink and meet fellow riders!

The Gravel Grind

With two unique routes to choose from, riders will spend the better part of Saturday morning and afternoon racing (or riding!) one of the most scenic and well designed gravel routes in the province. Both routes will be fully marked with Aid Stations along the way and at the finish line; fully loaded with the best ride food and enthusiastic volunteers to make sure every rider finishes with a smile. Both courses feature the 4iiii Strava Segment Challenge and an opportunity to win a 4iiii power meter!

Post Race Celebrations at the Heid Out

After an epic day of exploring the hidden gems of Cranbrook we invite all riders, friends and family to the Post-Race Celebrations back at the Heid Out for a beverage, meal, live music and award ceremonies! Local Cranbrook band Pretty for the People will be rocking downtown at 6:30pm!

Just like the legend itself, the Big Foot Loop is the 8th wonder of the world as it showcases some of the best 112km you never knew existed.

All before turning you around and sending you right back to where you started the day at Idlewild Park. You'll believe us when you ride it, this course is one you'll never forget
