HOKKAIDO EVENTS is pleased to announce the holding of a logo design competition for our gravel ride event “NISEKO GRAVEL”.
Gravel cycling is experiencing a global boom, gravel bikes’ ability to be ridden on all kinds of road surfaces & on light trails has opened up a new world to cyclists. Niseko is an incredible destination for domestic and international gravel cyclists, the NISEKO GRAVEL logo will be representative of both the event and the area’s gravel scene.
About “NISEKO GRAVEL”
NISEKO GRAVEL held its first event in 2021, introducing cyclists from across Japan to the area’s magnificent nature & its seemingly endless supply of gravel roads. The event is a true representation of all that the sport & that Niseko has to offer. A mixed-surface ride taking participants over buttery smooth tarmac, wooded forest roads, remote gravel climbs, scenic farm trails & everything in between. NISEKO GRAVEL offers participants a unique riding experience.
While Japan is covered with mountain roads & developed cycling routes, cyclists will find that much of what the nation has to offer is paved. Many cyclists do not have access to remote stretches of gravel making it hard for the sport to gain traction in Japan. In contrast to much of Japan, Hokkaido is crisscrossed with gravel roads bringing cyclists through remote forests, up mountains, and through mellow farmlands – the terrain in Hokkaido is creating a new “Japanese-style” of gravel riding allowing cyclists to explore the prefecture’s roads regardless of the road surface.
NISEKO GRAVEL was established as both an event for adventure-oriented cyclists to meet like-minded riders & as a way to promote Niseko’s undiscovered gravel scene to cyclists throughout Japan and across the world.
