Stretching from sun-drenched coastlines to towering forests and rolling farmland, the South West of Western Australia offers adventure, natural beauty and quiet gravel roads. Just a few hours south of Perth, this region combines remote charm with easy accessibility, creating an ideal setting for a global gravel cycling event.
Within the South West lies the Southern Forests & Valleys – a subregion defined by captivating forests, winding rivers, and peaceful rural landscapes. The area’s network of gravel roads and cool forest climate create ideal conditions for cycling and immersive experiences. The race is centred in Nannup, featuring a world-renowned course with over 80% gravel. Start and finish are located in the same place, simplifying logistics and creating a strong shared experience for riders and spectators.
Beyond the racing, Western Australia’s South West offers an experience unlike anywhere else, combining pristine landscapes, renowned food and wine, and a welcoming regional community. SEVE Gravel Race becomes more than a race – it’s a chance to explore, connect, and experience Western Australia.
Besides our magnificent SEVEN Gravel Race courses in the Blackwood Valley, there are ten other gravel rides in the South West that we highly recommend. If you can stay down south with us for a week or two, you’ll love these rides. They take you through the most scenic areas and villages of the Bunbury Geographe Region, the Southern Forests & Valleys Region and the Margaret River Region. The South West is a gravel cyclist’s dream…stay a while with us and you’ll see why.
