About the Event

Tackle the scenic gravel backroads of New Hampshire at the Kearsarge Klassic, a beloved non-competitive gravel ride returning for its classic challenge on Saturday, 8 August 2026 in Warner. This event, now under the stewardship of GRVL Cycling, offers a quintessential New England experience with 55-mile and 35-mile route options, plus a demanding "Elevation Bonus" for the adventurous, all featuring significant packed-gravel riding and challenging climbs through the beautiful hills surrounding Mount Kearsarge. With a group start at 8:00 AM from Café One East, it’s a personal challenge ride (not a race) that emphasizes self-navigation, camaraderie, and a well-earned finish line celebration featuring a delicious meal and local craft beer. Registration is limited to 350 riders, ensuring an intimate and well-supported atmosphere while benefiting the Concord-Lake Sunapee Rail Trail. Online registration opens early 2026 for a day of classic New England grit, gorgeous scenery, and great post-ride vibes.
