BC TRIPLE CROWN OF GRAVEL SERIES ANNOUNCES 2026 DATES IN WESTERN CANADA

British Columbia’s original Gravel Series

British Columbia’s original Gravel Series announces next year’s dates. They are all Challenging, fun and beautiful. Will host the inaugural BC Gravel Provincial Championships in September. Sign up for all three events and SAVE up to $150!

Tri 1 Events have announced dates for their highly popular series Gravel Fondos.

The BC Triple Crown of Gravel includes well-known, popular and well-established events including Vancouver Island’s Cowichan Crusher, the Kettle Mettle, Canada's oldest Gravel Fondo in Princeton, and the Sea 2 Sky Gravel Fondo starting in Squamish.

All events in the series feature, challenging, and well-mark courses with distances for all abilities. Additionally, courses have well-stocked aid stations that offer great snacks and hydration, and as always, awesome post-ride food and beverages.

Awesome season passes available for the lowest prces of the year as well as larger discounts for teams of 2 and 4.

A gravel fondo is a long-distance cycling event held primarily on gravel roads, blending the endurance of road racing with the adventure of off-road riding. It’s part of the broader “fondo” family—like gran fondos and medio fondos—but with a twist: unpredictable terrain and a spirit of exploration. Tri 1 Events CEO and founder Dean Stanton coined the phrase Gravel Fondo way back in 2016, and the rest is history.
