Too Many Races, Too Few Weekends: Gravel Racing's Crowded Calendar is Headed Toward Collision

Events are stepping on each other's toes, and athletes have to make tough choices about where to race. Does this mean gravel needs a governing body?

The article from MSN discusses the burgeoning issue of an overly crowded calendar in the gravel racing scene, which is leading to a potential collision of events. Gravel racing has seen a surge in popularity, resulting in numerous races being scheduled on the same weekends, particularly in the peak season from May to September. This saturation is causing logistical challenges for both racers and organizers, with top athletes like Lauren De Crescenzo and Ted King expressing concerns over the sustainability of the current schedule. The article highlights the dilemma of choosing between races, the financial and environmental costs of travel, and the potential for burnout among participants. It also notes the lack of coordination among event promoters, which exacerbates the problem. Suggestions for improvement include better scheduling, regional consolidation of events, and the introduction of a governing body to manage the calendar more effectively.
