Gravel Revival 2026 returns for its seventh edition from October 16 to 18 at Peaceful Hills Retreat & Campground in Centerville, Tennessee. This grassroots cycling festival promises an immersive experience with epic gravel riding, live music, and family-friendly activities set against the backdrop of Middle Tennessee's scenic countryside. The event offers a variety of rides to suit all skill levels: - An 11-mile route for casual riders - A 30-mile option for those seeking a moderate challenge - The 47-mile ride/race is perfect for endurance enthusiasts - For serious competitors, the 68-mile race will feature substantial cash prizes This year, Gravel Revival intentionally caps participation at just 400 riders to maintain its laid-back and community-focused vibe. Riders can expect to traverse some of Hickman County's finest gravel roads, including scenic backroads, fast descents, creek crossings, rugged terrain, and challenging climbs. Registration includes fully supported routes with aid stations, a Friday evening Shakeout Ride, swag kits, access to shower facilities, post-ride meals, complimentary beer, kombucha, non-alcoholic beverages, live music, and a legendary Saturday night bonfire. Sunday's activities include a recovery ride to a local winery and waterfall for those who wish to sample the region’s wines. Camping options are plentiful at Peaceful Hills Retreat & Campground, offering tent camping, RV sites, cabins, cottages, or glamping accommodations. Participants can also enjoy shower facilities throughout the weekend. Gravel Revival is designed with families in mind; while specific family-friendly activities will be detailed closer to the event date, there's plenty of fun for everyone. Trail runners are welcome but should note that supported trail run routes won't be offered this year due to low participation rates.
