“Business in front - Party in the rear”
​
In addition to being a "very" cool Gravel race/event, the Spring Classic GRVL also pays tribute to some of the biggest and most important Spring Classics in cycling history.
We are inspired by the 3 most beautiful races in the world: Tour of Flanders, Strade Bianche, and Paris Roubaix!
Therefore, you can also expect a "splash" of Italian, Belgian and French culture as well as atmosphere from these particular monuments.
​
Distance:
120 or 67km.
Location: Odder, Denmark.

​
The Route
The route will take you south, east, and west of Odder. On the different route distances, you will experience a great diversity of the open countryside, forest areas, dirt roads, field roads, old disused railway lines and small villages.
The 118 and 67 km. route also takes you past the scenic and beautiful coastal areas of Horsens Fjord.
​
Start and finish at Spektrum Odder. The race ends with 1.5 laps of "hard packed gravel" at the running track around Odder stadium, in honor of Paris Roubaix!

1 long round 120 km. + feedzone.
1 round of 67km. + feedzone.
​
History & Culture
The area has a rich cultural history dating back to the year 1363 when the town of Odder is mentioned for the first time. The course of the route is thus also a look back at several of the region's past monuments.
