Four races. Four landscapes. A series created to push gravel to the limit:
the Tiago Ferreira Gravel Series.
A major challenge alongside Tiago Ferreira — one of the top names in international XCM, with multiple podiums at the UCI XCM World Championship and several Portuguese National Championships in XCM and XCO — and his travel companion, the BH GravelX R.
The Tiago Ferreira Gravel Series are more than races: they are a journey designed to explore the limits of gravel and discover unique routes. Four different events, each with its own character and challenge, allowing riders to experience gravel in its purest form: from the Sahara deserts to the remote landscapes of the Badlands, including technical trails and roads that seem suspended in time.
Tiago travels through deserts, hidden trails, and breathtaking landscapes, tackling demanding climbs, technical descents, and sections where only the wind sets the pace. And he’s not alone: his Gravel X R is his inseparable companion, ready to adapt to any terrain.
Sand, loose gravel, mud, or rock.
These four events are not just competitions: they are a complete adventure testing endurance, skill, and passion. A project aimed at giving visibility to the discipline, showcasing the performance of the Gravel X R in competition, and bringing the real experience of a professional rider to the public in these types of challenges.
Welcome to the Tiago Ferreira Gravel Series!
Kilometers of sand, loose gravel, and relentless wind.
This is how the Sahara Gravel Race is experienced.
From the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert, the Sahara Gravel Race is a four-day stage race across some of the most spectacular gravel paths in the world. The route stretches from Ouarzazate to Erg Lihoudi, covering a total of 445 km with over 4,500 meters of cumulative elevation, with 90% of the course on gravel paths or seemingly simple trails.
But reality exceeded all expectations.
On paper, all the stages seemed relatively easy: distances between 90 and 105 km and little elevation, except for one stage approaching 2,000 meters. But the reality is different: the terrain makes each stage demanding, with rocks that make the bike bounce and wear down the body, and a constant wind that gives no respite

Despite the setbacks, Tiago gives a very positive assessment of the Sahara Gravel Race:
I’m very happy to have experienced this: riding a gravel race in the middle of the desert was incredible
The Gorafe Desert and the surroundings of Baza offer one of the most spectacular settings for gravel riding. A unique, wild and demanding environment that many consider the most impressive place to enjoy gravel in Europe.
This is what Utopía Gravel Fest Baza feels like.

The Utopía Gravel Fest Baza is as beautiful as it is demanding.It’s a race I really enjoy for its course, its landscapes, and that extra level of toughness that makes it even more special

From the start, Tiago Ferreira stayed with the lead group for much of the race,
riding at a very high pace alongside top-level competitors.
It’s great to be in the front group for a big part of the race, to enjoy events like this in such incredible settings, and to share all these kilometers with such strong riders
The effort paid off with a great result:
165 km in 5:15 and an impressive fifth place in a highly competitive race.
The Traka is one of Europe’s most renowned gravel events , held every year in Girona — already an iconic destination for cycling. The race brings together professional and amateur riders from all over the world, featuring routes that cross dirt tracks, rural roads, and the spectacular landscapes of the Costa Brava and inland Catalonia.
With different distances, from more accessible routes to true endurance challenges, The Traka has become much more than a race: it’s an event that blends competition, adventure, and community, establishing Girona as one of the global epicentres of gravel riding.

After two years competing in the 200 km distance, this year Tiago Ferreira decided to take it a step further and face a new challenge: his first participation in The Traka 325K. A demanding race covering 325 km, +4,150 m of positive elevation gain, 8,300 m of total elevation gain, and an altitude range from 4 m to 420 m.

It has been the most challenging race I have had to date
This is how Tiago describes his adventure at The Traka 325K. A route where pace, effort management, and adaptability were key from the very first kilometre to the finish line, in a race that pushes every rider to their physical and mental limits.
I rode from km 223 to 325 completely on my own, but I managed to keep the pace and finish strong without breaking down. I’m very satisfied with my performance and my 13th place
800 kilometres, more than 16,000 metres of elevation gain and some of the most extreme landscapes in Europe.
Badlands was created to showcase and explore gravel and bikepacking in Eastern Andalusia, a region where the desert meets the Mediterranean coast, forests and mountains rising above 3,000 metres.
This is no ordinary race. It is a personal adventure where every rider has to manage every kilometre, every stop, every meal and every hour of sleep.
For Tiago Ferreira, it was also a challenge he had wanted to take on for a long time. He had been following Badlands for years, watching the times set by riders who completed its 800 kilometres, but he still didn't feel ready to take on such a demanding challenge.
He needed to gain more experience in gravel and, above all, learn how to combine it with bikepacking. Then, this year, he felt ready to take on Badlands the way he had always imagined. But getting to the start line was far from easy.

On June 23, during a road training ride, Tiago suffered a heavy crash that left him with a grade 5 dislocation and a complete tear of all the ligaments in his acromioclavicular joint, as well as a hard impact to his shoulder and head. Despite this, he refused to give up, although he had one clear condition: he could not afford to crash again. From that moment on, simply finishing Badlands became an even greater challenge.
Even so, Tiago arrived at the start with one clear goal: to complete the 800 kilometres without stopping to sleep and in under 40 hours.
It’s an extremely tough race, even more mentally than physically
It’s also a race of contrasts. Desert, coastline, forests, mountains and more than 16,000 metres of elevation gain unfold along a route that constantly challenges riders to manage their effort and make the right decisions.

The variety of terrain throughout the race is simply incredible
Tiago completed Badlands in 38 hours and 19 minutes, without stopping to sleep and finishing in second place. He achieved the goal he had set himself before the start and brought the Tiago Ferreira Gravel Series to a close.
Some of the moments I experienced during Badlands will stay with me forever
A second-place finish at Badlands to bring the Tiago Ferreira Gravel Series to a silver-clad close.
