In 2024, the Cranbrook Gravel Grind (CGG) will once again shed light on the world class gravel riding that surrounds Cranbrook, BC. Welcoming any and all riders to the third annual event, 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 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.
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!
