Gravel Day FAQ
When is Gravel Day 2023?
Gravel Day, Pelotonia’s new gravel riding event, will be held on September 30, 2023.
Is there an age requirement to participate in Pelotonia Gravel Day?
The minimum age to ride or volunteer is 14; however, any age can participate in Pelotonia as a Challenger.
Can I register for Ride Weekend in addition to Gravel Day?
Yes! Riders can participate in both Ride Weekend and Gravel Day. Riders' fundraising commitment will increase based on the Ride Weekend route that they select. High Rollers ($5,000 fundraising minimum) will be able to participate in both events at no additional commitment increase.
Can I ride my road bike in Gravel Day?
Some more current road bikes (likely sold in the last five years) allow for more robust tires which is key for safety and the best experience during Gravel Day. The minimum tire width we would recommend is 35mm. Hardtail mountain bikes would also be a great option that would allow for better handling, more robust tires and a really fun experience.
