February 8, 2026 - (Leduc, AB) Festivus of Gravel p/b Castelli is a gravel cycling event for everyone, perfect for those who love riding gravel. Being held on May 24, you can ride any of the distances at your own pace, whether you prefer to race against friends, fund raise or enjoy a challenging ride.

We’ve got a new start/finish location in Leduc, Alberta and takes place on the pristine gravel roads and by-ways of Leduc & Wetaskiwin Counties, in the heart of the Province of Alberta, Canada.

Edmonton International Airport is right next to our Start/Finish community, making it the world’s only fly-in gravel race!

For 2026, we’re also adding a charity event, raising funds for the Prostate Cancer Centre which sends a mobile prostrate cancer testing vehicle, THE MAN VAN across the province of Alberta helping save lives by detecting early signs of prostate cancer.

We want everyone to have an opportunity to challenge themselves, which is why we are offering three “Alberta Gravel” curated routes for 2026 along with a shorter 24km Fund Raising ride – the 2026 event routes are available here for you to explore!

– Fund Raising ride – 24 km
– The Hammer – 50ish km – the challenge starts!
– The Thunder – 90ish km – most popular!!
– The Braveheart – 150ish km – the biggest

Aid Stations are supported by Edmonton’s key bike shops including: Mud, Sweat & Gears, Hardcore, United Cycle & Cranky’s Bike Shop.
