WHAT TO EXPECT
VERIFIED EVENT DETAILS · DAILY CHORE EDITORIAL COMMENTARY
A Double-Qualifier Weekend
Halmstad hosts both a UCI Gravel World Series qualifier (Saturday) and a Nordic Gravel Series classification race (Sunday) — meaning the same weekend counts toward both the 2026 World Championships and the 2027 European Championships in Lahti.
The Terrain
Classic Swedish gravel: long, smooth hardpack roads through forests and rolling countryside around Halmstad, with shakeout rides on Friday to scout new terrain before race weekend properly begins.
Daily Chore Take
One of four stops in the Nordic Gravel Series alongside Falling Leaves Lahti and Evertsberg — ride two or more and you're automatically in the series classification, with genuine prize money on the line even outside the elite categories.
