White Stone Gravel Fest 2026

The White Stone Gravel Fest returns for its 3rd edition in 2026, sending riders across the mixed terrain of Port Dickson and Negeri Sembilan before finishing at the iconic Tanjung Tuan lighthouse — built on the 200-million-year-old quartz ridge known as Bukit Batu Putih (White Stone Hill).

This is not a pampered sportive. The White Stone Gravel Fest is a 100% unsupported race. There are only two water stations along the route, provided by sponsors. No mechanical support, no sweep vehicle, no rescue. You carry what you need, you fix what breaks, and you finish on your own terms. The 7-hour cut-off applies to all categories.

Three race categories cater to different bikes and riding styles. The 120km Gravel Battle is the flagship event, traversing open public roads and off-road trails through demanding terrain that tests endurance and navigation. The 80km categories split into 26er Retro MTB — celebrating the classic 26-inch wheeled mountain bike — and Modern MTB for current-generation trail bikes.

The flagship 120km Gravel Battle course starts and finishes in Port Dickson, looping inland through Linggi, Pengkalan Kempas, and Ladang Sua Betong before returning along the coast. Total elevation is 1,284 m of climbing over 115.67 km, with estimated moving time around 4h 15m for a competitive pace. Surface breakdown: 29% paved, 22% dirt, 49% mixed/unspecified — gravel tyres with decent volume strongly recommended.
