Abruzzo Gravel – Unsupported Bikepacking Adventure

Abruzzo Gravel – Unsupported Bikepacking Adventure is a multi-day, non-competitive bikepacking event taking place 29 May–2 June 2026 with its base in Popoli Terme, Abruzzo, Italy. The event is explicitly UNSUPPORTED and non-competitive, offering riders a self-guided itinerary rather than a timed race. Organisers will provide the GPX route (Trail AG26) for participants to load onto their devices, while riders decide their pace, exact route choices and overnight arrangements. The event is open to gravel bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes (BDC) and e-bikes suitable for off‑road riding.

Alongside the multi-day rides the festival-style Bike Village hosts talks, an expo area, live music, family rides and food and drink services, creating a social hub at the base camp. The organisers emphasise flexibility — there is no time limit and no compulsory support — and encourage participants to combine provided traces into bespoke itineraries. Regional partners and local tourism bodies support the event, linking riders to community services and local hospitality. The official site indicates online registrations are closed at present, so prospective participants should consult the event website or social channels for the latest updates.
