Introducing...THE GRAVELFOYLE TRIPLE CROWN 2026
Aberfoyle to host the UK’s first gravel racing triple crown series, kicking off in March 2026.
2026 will see the return of Gravelfoyle’s keystone ‘Weekender’ format, bolstering their already sell-out Gravelfoyle 10 and Grand Old Dukes events to create the Gravelfoyle Triple Crown.
The Duke and Duchess of Gravelfoyle will be the one(s) who can come out on top of the three events, starting with The Gravelfoyle 10 in March, The Grand Old Dukes in May and the Gravelfoyle Weekender in September.
Gravelfoyle is now firmly established as having the best quality gravel trails in the UK which draw riders from all from across the globe. We are excited to announce that 2026 is shaping up to be a banger year here in the heart of Scotland. Every event offers a unique way to enjoy our trails from short and sharp enduro efforts at The Gravelfoyle Weekender to our biggest challenge climbing 10,000ft over 175km at Grand Old Dukes. As always, the infamous Gravelfoyle vibe will accompany our events with plenty for sprogs and families.
The Gravelfoyle Events Team will be awarding generous cash prizes for the overall podium as well as age category prizes too.

Gravelfoyle Weekender - 12th/13th September 2026
The iconic Weekender is back due to popular demand! Last run in 2023 to a sell out 700 riders, 2026 will see the return of the ‘Dukes Weekender’ Enduro with a brand new spin as the ‘Gravelfoyle Weekender’, a race for riders of all abilities. We'll roll out our popular kids races on Saturday and our infamous enduro format across the weekend.
September will see hundreds more gravel enthusiasts head to Aberfoyle, AKA Gravelfoyle with riders travelling from the whole of the UK, America and Europe to enjoy our beautiful trails.
Event Directors Beth Legg and Kerry MacPhee said “We’re really chuffed to be bringing back The Gravelfoyle Weekender and rolling this into our biggest year yet. Our events help us deliver our free grass roots community events like PáircRide and Gravelfoyle Grrls and we’re thrilled to have such a healthy calendar on our doorstep.”
