LA EPICA GRAVEL GRINDER 2027

Experience the raw beauty of Puerto Rico's southern landscape as you participate in La Épica Gravel Grinder®, presented by the Caribbean Sports Organization and sponsored by The Puerto Rico Tourism Company. This two-day gravel cycling adventure invites cyclists from around the world to explore a diverse terrain that includes rolling hills, coastal plains, and unique gravel roads.
The event kicks off on Friday with a Gravel "Crit," an exhilarating criterium designed for those who thrive in fast-paced competition. This will set the stage perfectly for Saturday's main event, which features two distinct routes tailored to both competitive cyclists and recreational riders alike.
Saturday’s first leg of La Épica Gravel Grinder® promises 80 kilometers of challenging yet rewarding terrain. Cyclists can choose between an open category or a non-competitive pace that still allows them to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes at their own comfortable speed.
Sunday's final stage stretches across 140 kilometers, offering more time for cyclists to immerse themselves in Puerto Rico’s stunning scenery and vibrant culture. Whether you're looking to push your limits or simply soak up the atmosphere of Ponce, this event has something for every gravel cyclist.
Join us on a late March date when warm weather ensures ideal riding conditions, making it perfect for wrapping up winter training or starting off spring with a bang. The Caribbean’s tropical allure frames an unforgettable journey through one of its most picturesque regions.
Warm regards,
