Cuckoo Iceland replaces The Rift for revamped 2026 Gravel Earth Series

Final top 5 for elite women at 2025 Gravel Earth Series (L to R): Karolina Migoń second, Morgan Aguirre third, overall winner Rosa Klöser, Sarah Sturm fifth, Geerike Schreurs fourth.

Several changes are in the works for the 2026 Gravel Earth Series, as organisers revealed on Friday the number of global events would be reduced from 23 to 13 in the fourth edition. The Traka, with two race distances, and Migration Gravel return as anchor events for a fourth consecutive year, with the series including new races in Iceland and Belgium.

Klassmark, an event company based in Girona, Spain that emphasises minimal environmental impacts, organises the series and now owns half of the races featured on the calendar, including Cuckoo Iceland by the Traka, scheduled in Flúðir, Iceland, on June 28 and The River by The Traka in Bouillon, Belgium, on September 6, serving as the finale in the series.
