The Courses - 2026
*** New routes for 2026 ***
The Esterhazy Gravel Quest is a unique gravel event in Saskatchewan in that it is run as a group ride as opposed to a timed event.
There are two distances to choose from, each led by experienced local cyclists who designed the courses. Just like timed gravel events, there will be a feed station where you can fill your bottles with nutrition.
After the event is over feel free to join the group in the town of Esterhazy for some food and drinks at a local restaurant. Details to come.
Courses may change in the event of wet conditions.
