King's Cup Gravel Festival & British Gravel Championships

Welcome to the King’s Cup, Britain’s ultimate gravel festival.

There’s no event like the King’s Cup Gravel Festival and our second year will be even better than the first.

For 2022 we return to the King’s Forest, near Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk with routes for everyone including the serious racer, recreational riders, gravel newbies and families.

And of course we host the British Gravel Championships.

Gravel Fondo - Sunday 25 September

There are two distances for the Gravel Fondo, 100km and 40km.

Gravel Race - Saturday 24 September

In the Gravel Race you can compete for the British Gravel Championships plus there’s a dedicated Masters Championship as well.

Fun rides

We also have a night ride aimed at families. All on fully marshalled courses.

The Festival happens between September 23rd and 25th, 2022, and as well as our rides we’ll have live music, family activities, food stalls, a bar, camping and even glamping. There’ll be an expo where our event partners will show their products.

If you’re checking the wonderful world of gravel for the first time don’t worry, just bring your MTB, the mixed terrain in King’s Forest means those wide tyres certainly won’t be out of place.
