On May 11, 2025, the LGL adventure begins in the South Limburg hills. The Marly Grav Race takes you over steep gravel climbs and narrow, technical descents around Valkenburg. On July 12, it’s the turn of the northern sibling: Gravel One Fifty. From Roden, you plunge into the endless gravel paths of Drenthe, with speed, endurance, and navigation as key to success.
Why participate?
The League is a tribute to the versatility of the Dutch gravel culture. South Limburg challenges your climbing abilities, Drenthe tests your flexibility on long gravel stretches. Two faces, one title. And for recreational gravel riders? This is also an unforgettable way to experience the Netherlands at its best: from rolling vineyards to vast meadows.
