Add to My Favourites

We are excited to welcome you to the Okanagan on June 28, 2025 for the 10th annual Kettle Mettle Gravel Fondo. This event holds it’s title as the oldest Gravel Fondo in Western Canada.

Situated in the stunning Okanagan region, our course carves its way through wildflower-blanketed canyons, historic trestles, and shaded decommissioned railway tunnels. You can expect panoramic views of crystal clear lakes as you climb and descend the sweeping switchbacks of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail.

“These events always seem to bring sunshine and great times. Well organized and great people turn out to these gravel events.” Justin Payeur, Maple Ridge, BC

We respectfully acknowledge the KETTLE METTLE Gravel Fondo takes place on the traditional territories of the Syilx Okanagan Nation.
