THE RIDER'S CHOICE EXPERIENCE
THE FINALE IS IN YOUR HANDS
For three seasons, the LOOP Safari Gravel Series has taken riders across extraordinary landscapes, challenging routes, and unforgettable adventures. From the first pedal stroke to the final finish line, the series has been shaped by the passion, determination, and spirit of the cycling community.
Now, for the final leg of the 2026 season, we're doing something different.
​
Introducing Rider's Choice — a unique opportunity for cycling clubs and communities to help decide how the season concludes. Rather than selecting the final venue ourselves, we're inviting clubs to step forward and propose a location worthy of hosting the grand finale of the LOOP Safari Gravel Series.
​
HOW TO APPLY
The Rider's Choice initiative puts the future of the series directly into the hands of the cycling community.
​
Cycling clubs are invited to submit an application proposing a host venue for the final leg of the 2026 LOOP Safari Gravel Series. Applications should outline your proposed location, route concept, and your club's ability to deliver an exceptional rider experience.
All applications will be reviewed and shortlisted based on their suitability to host the season finale. Once the review process is complete, the shortlisted venues will be announced and opened for community voting.
​
The venue receiving the most support from riders will earn the opportunity to host the final race of the 2026 LOOP Safari Gravel Series.
​
Application Deadline: 6 July 2026
​
If your club believes it has the perfect destination, route, and event experience to bring riders together for an unforgettable finish, we want to hear from you.
​
Download the application form, complete the required information, and submit your proposal before the deadline. Shortlisted applications will then be presented to the cycling community, where riders will have the opportunity to vote and choose the official host venue for the final race of the season.
One final race. One epic conclusion. Chosen by riders.
