Announcing the Wild Gravel Trail: A New Adventure for Gravel Riders
Gnowangerup, WA – 14/04/2025 – The Shire of Gnowangerup is excited to announce the launch of the Wild Gravel Trail, a new opportunity for gravel riding enthusiasts to explore the stunning landscapes of the region in their own time, and at their own pace.
The Wild Gravel Trail offers participants a chance to experience the beauty and challenge of long distance, multi-day gravel riding through a 440km loop that is over 90% gravel. The trail begins in Gnowangerup and takes riders through Ongerup, past Bluff Knoll, along Stirling Range Drive, south to Mount Barker, and then on northward via Kendenup, Cranbrook, Tambellup, Broomehill and Katanning, before returning to Gnowangerup.
The Wild Gravel Trail is inspired by Wild Gravel, a mass participation gravel cycling and running event held in the Stirling Ranges. Established in 2024, the event was a resounding success and will be returning for its second edition on October 11, 2025. The new trail allows riders to enjoy the area year-round, providing a unique and adventurous experience for all levels of cyclists.
To celebrate the launch of the Wild Gravel Trail, renowned ultra cyclist, and 2022 winner of the Indian Pacific Wheel Race, Colin Ottaway, will be attempting a Fastest Known Time (FKT) record on the trail, starting on April 22. This exciting event is sure to draw attention from the cycling community and beyond.
