European gravel championship

Qualifier for 2026 UCI Worlds

Part of Gravelking UCI World Series

The 2026 Bolero UEC Gravel European Championships take place on 30 August 2026 in Houffalize, Belgium, bringing together the continent's top gravel riders under the Bolero and UEC branding. The event is part of the Gravelking UCI Gravel World Series and serves as a qualifying race for the 2026 UCI Gravel World Championships (qualification for the Worlds in Nannup, Australia). Houffalize is presented as a gravel stronghold and the championships will be staged in and around the town, with the new championship course to be unveiled for 2026. Practical information, registration and accreditation are published via the event homepage and linked registration portals (eurogravel26.com and the ChronoRace registration system).

The championships use a multi-lap course derived from the Houffa/Houffalize layout, with an updated final for 2026; the published format describes a c.47 km lap run three times for the longer category (c.141 km) and twice for the shorter category (c.94 km), with roughly 70% off‑road riding and about 700 m of ascent per lap. Bolero is cited as title sponsor, local delivery is supported by Golazo and the City of Houffalize, and Sportograf is named as the official photo service.
