Gravel Tour Hlinsko

Gravel Tour Hlinsko brings a round of the UCI Gravel World Series to the Czech highlands, on the edge of the Pardubice Region where the rugged Iron Mountains (Železné hory) meet the rolling Žďárské vrchy hills. The course spills over into neighbouring Vysočina, mixing gravel roads, forest tracks and rolling climbs.

Hlinsko has hosted major gravel races since 2019 and has three times been the start of the Czech Gravel Championship. The race is built on loops: a main lap that every category rides, and an extra lap for the elite and younger age groups, who pass back through the start and finish corridor in town before heading out again.

Behind it is a local team with more than thirty years of experience running professional sports events. Race HQ sits by the multi-sport stadium close to the centre of Hlinsko, a town founded in 1349 that grew up on pottery and weaving crafts, with registration, showers and catering all in one place.
