This is not a race.

It's not about being the fastest. It's about showing up when it is hard. For 4 weeks, Dirt Squad riders will take on weekly challenges, team competition, surprise advantages and one final push to the end.

You don't just ride.

What is Survive the Gravel?

Survive the Gravel is a 4 week Dirt Squad challenge built around consistency, community, and showing up when it is hard. Riders complete weekly challenges, submit rides and compete through team and individual scoring.

Do I have to be fast to do this?

No. This challenge is built for all levels. It's about showing up, not being the fastest rider in the room.

Where will the Survive the Gravel Challenge be hosted?
