Houffa Gravel
On Saturday, August 30th, it’s time for Houffa Gravel, the third event of the Bolero Gravel Series. Houffa Gravel is a true classic on the gravel calendar and, just like in previous years, serves as a qualification race for the UCI Gravel World Championships 2025.
Houffa Gravel takes place in and around the picturesque Houffalize, the charming town on the banks of the Ourthe in the Ardennes. The surrounding region, with its vast nature and rolling landscapes, offers an unparalleled setting for an unforgettable gravel experience.
New course! In 2026, Houffalize will host the European Gravel Championships. In preparation for this, the course will be thoroughly redesigned. The revamped route, which will also serve as the course for the European Gravel Championships, will be unveiled for the first time on August 30th during Houffa Gravel!
The official qualification distance for elite men/women, men 19-59 years, and women 19-49 years is 141 km (3 laps). The official qualification distance for men 60+ and women 50+ is 94 km (2 laps).
