Reverb Cycling has announced the routes for the 2026 Jeroboam Gravel Series and opened registration. For the first time, the event will focus entirely on the Bergamo region in Italy. The Santini Village at the company’s headquarters will form the centre of the event and will host the start and finish of all three routes.
Three routes near Jeroboam
The shortest version of the Jeroboam Classic covers 75 kilometres through the region around Lake Iseo. With 600 metres of elevation gain, this route is suitable for beginners and experienced cyclists alike. The route passes through Erbusco and goes past Giangi’s Bike.
The medium-distance route of the Jeroboam Classic covers 150 kilometres and 2,500 metres of elevation gain. Starting from Bergamo, the route passes through the Malgalunga area and the Valle Imagna. The route is physically demanding but remains moderately technical. The character of this route is defined by its varied landscapes.
The main route of the Jeroboam Mathusalem covers 600 kilometres and involves 17,000 metres of elevation gain. The race starts on Friday evening at 8.30 pm at Village Santini. The route takes in major Alpine passes such as Gavia, Madonna di Campiglio and Tremalzo, before descending to Lake Garda and returning to base. There is a time limit of 80 hours for this self-supported ultra-endurance challenge.
