UCI Gravel Brazil was the first ever UCI Gravel race in Southern America in 2025 and hosted by the team behind the very successful UCI Gran Fondo Brazil who takes place in the same region in November every year.

Course

The 113km course starts and finishes in the city center of Balneario Camboriu.  90% of the course is on gravel roads with only a small part in the middle on paved roads.

The course is designed with the first and last 36km mainly following the same roads.  The southern turning point forms a big loop.

The shorter 69km course as qualifier for all men over 60 and women over 50 follows the same roads but doesn’t do the southern loop at the turning point.
