Why Grävely Fest?
Why Grävely Fest?
Amateur sports in Estonia have become quite serious. Young people no longer want to come to the start line, women struggle to fit between big egos at the start, and participants sometimes forget that sports should also be fun. The numbers speak for themselves – the share of younger participants (MN17-35) in bike marathons has halved in the last decade, and women's participation has not exceeded 20%.
Events shouldn’t just be one-day affairs that start with a number on your chest and end with a medal at the finish line. A pasta party before the start? A festival bonfire and a sauna after the finish? All of this should also be part of the racing experience.
And here we are – Grävely Fest, Estonia’s coolest bike festival, combining gravel rides and festival life. Three days. The best gravel track in the Baltics. The coolest cycling community. Evening chill and dancing. What more could you want?
