2026 Arizona Gravel Championship: A One-Day State Title Race in Douglas, Arizona

In 2026, Arizona gravel racing will add something it has never had before: a true, standalone state championship.

The Arizona Gravel Championship will be contested as a single-day event in the borderlands of southeastern Arizona, hosted and produced by BorderLands Gravel. No points. No series math. No accumulation across multiple races. One day. One course. One set of champions.=

That structure is intentional. It mirrors how Arizona crowns state champions in road, criterium, mountain bike, time trial, and other cycling disciplines. Show up. Race. Titles are decided on the day.

For gravel, that day arrives on November 14, 2026.
