But what makes this gravel running movement so special is that it\u2019s more than just running. Much more. It\u2019s where performance meets community, surrounded by a festival vibe.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slideshow\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col items-center justify-center py-base-loose\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col items-start\">\n<div class=\"relative w-full touch-pan-y pb-base-tight select-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"block h-auto w-full object-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/SALOMON_GRAVELANZA_13-juin-2026_\u00a9PierreGouineau_0323-4_5-1-Tom-Copeland-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Gravelanza\" draggable=\"false\"\/><\/div>\n<p class=\"min-h-[48px]\"><span class=\"text-left font-utility-3 text-secondary\">Gravelanza<\/span><span class=\"ml-1 text-left font-utility-3 text-text-disabled\">Esther B Studio<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex w-full justify-center gap-2 pt-base-loose\">\n<div class=\"flex cursor-pointer flex-col justify-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/SALOMON_GRAVELANZA_13-juin-2026_\u00a9PierreGouineau_0323-4_5-1-Tom-Copeland-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Gravelanza\" width=\"120\" height=\"80\" class=\"max-h-10 object-cover transition-all duration-200 hover:opacity-80 border-4 border-brand-primary\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex cursor-pointer flex-col justify-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/@estherbstudio-11-Tom-Copeland.jpg\" alt=\"Gravelanza\" width=\"120\" height=\"80\" class=\"max-h-10 object-cover transition-all duration-200 hover:opacity-80 opacity-60\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It starts with the location.\u00a0The course is in LA\u2019s iconic Griffith Park, with big views across greater Los Angeles. The park, set in the Santa Monica Mountains, mixes city and wild like nowhere else. And with a high point of 1,625 feet above sea level, there\u2019s plenty of elevation to get your heart rate up.<\/p>\n<p>The five-mile individual race traverses a hilly, mixed-surface route, perfect for gravel running. The single lap includes 864 feet of climbing, views galore, and full immersion in the park\u2019s sage and oak woodlands. Go for the fresh air and good vibes, go for the overall win, or go for a Master of the Mountain prize for fastest time over a defined segment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2754825\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Register now for Gravelanza Los Angeles. \" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2754825\" style=\"color:transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/17-Tom-Copeland-scaled.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover 1x\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/17-Tom-Copeland-scaled.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"\/><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\"><span class=\"article__caption\">Register now for Gravelanza Los Angeles. <\/span> (Photo: Salomon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Joining with friends? Put a team together for the Gravelanza Run Crew Battle. In this event, mixed-gender teams of six take on a 1.6-mile lap (the total time of all members of your crew creates your finishing time). The cross-country style scoring culminates in a final head-to-head race between the top three teams.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy live music from start to finish, with a headline act playing the post-race celebration and awards ceremony. The whole event revolves around a festival hub, with a Salomon shoe charms bar, tattoo artists, food and drink stands, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Bonus run: The whole thing kicks off on Friday, October 2, the day before the race, with the Salomon Shake Out Run.
