300 Kilometres. Three Timed Stages. Murray Bridge to Clare.

Lavender Gravel 300 is a fully supported, three-stage gravel cycling challenge following the Lavender Cycling Trail from Murray Bridge to Clare.

Across three consecutive days, riders will cover more than 300 kilometres and climb over 3,300 metres through South Australia's Murraylands, Adelaide Hills, Barossa and Mid North.

Each stage is timed, giving riders the opportunity to track their performance, test their endurance and set personal benchmarks across the event.

The route combines gravel roads, sandy tracks, rolling farmland, sustained climbs and rugged sections of trail. With stages ranging from 74 to 117 kilometres, riders will need endurance, preparation and confidence across varied terrain.

BikeSA manages the event logistics, including meals, luggage transfers, overnight camping arrangements and on-route support, allowing riders to concentrate on the challenge.

At the end of each stage, riders come together for regional food, recovery and time with fellow cyclists.
