Logistics and services provided by ‘La Epica’
The gravel event where sweat meets the spit (and beer wins over everything).
📍 Where it all begins:
Start from the historic Pieve di Soligo, home of the 2023 Gravel World Championship.
🎪 Headquarters: Race registration at the heart of the event, the Fondaco del Gusto (because here, we think about eating first, then cycling).
🏁 Epic finish: Near the Giant Spit set up in the square. A finish line that smells of glory and barbecue.

The Secretariat
We await you at our exclusive headquarters: Il Fondaco del Gusto, strategically located behind the Town Hall. Yes, you heard that right, a refined place where you can check-in, proudly show your membership card, and pick up your invaluable race kit.
For latecomers, registrations are still open. But hurry up! We don’t want to find you on Sunday morning on your knees begging: “Please let me start!” because the answer might be a cold smile.
Expo & Tech Area
A little piece of paradise for the compulsive gravel enthusiast:
🛠 Handmade bottle holders
👕 T-shirts more flamboyant than necessary
🚴 Components you’ve never heard of, but now seem essential
If you can’t find anything to buy, congratulations: you have the willpower of a Tibetan monk.
Music & Entertainment Area
🎧 DJ Set
🍺 Craft beers
🎯 Improbable games
The classic “Just one round and then I’ll go to bed early,” which magically transforms into an epic escape from the nightlife at 1:00 AM.

The Start
📍 La Grande Piazza, behind the Town Hall
A straightaway that seems like it came straight out of the Giro d’Italia, but without the pressure of the RAI cameras. However, watch out for the official photographer: an epic grimace could become your next social media profile.
The Starting Grid
Three routes for all ambitions:
🚵 LONG SUPERIOR – 113 km: For the gravel heroes, the ones who say “aid stations? Only for socializing.”
🚴♂️ MEDIUM LE RIVE – 85 km: A perfect mix of effort, scenery, and a timely lunch.
🚲 SHORT GLERA – 55 km: The right balance of sport, nature, and an early aperitif.
THE FINISH
Honor and Glory!
🏅 The Medal: When you receive it, you’ll think: “This was worth every climb.”
🎁 Race Kit: Delivered only after the finish line. No, we don’t give it out before: we want to avoid you hiding it in your backpack or under your shirt like a secret shopping bag.
⏰ From 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM – The Epica Spiedo & Beer Fest!
🍗 Smoking skewers
🍻 Craft beer
🎸 Live band playing everything except sad songs
🔔 Are you ready? La Epica is waiting for you! And remember: the true gravel spirit is starting with a smile and finishing with a story to tell! 🚴♂️🔥
