It was only two years ago that the SEVEN race in Nannup jumped into the new UCI Gravel World Series and put their hands up to host a World Championship in the discipline as well. Then the road ahead was an unknown, with as many possible routes as there are course options in the gravel road rich wilderness surrounding Nannup, although the team behind the Western Australian event had an inkling of the potential massive growth ahead.
Now, the event is heading into its third edition as part of the series, but seventh year all up, and the field keeps ballooning as it heads toward 2026 when it will host the first UCI Gravel World Championships outside Europe on a course that, given the race history, is likely be just about as close as you can get to 100% gravel.
