Photo Gallery: Day 1 at Gravel Worlds

For the most part Friday at Gravel Worlds is all about running … which, like the bike events, mostly takes part on gravel roads. The day kicks off with the 50 km, followed by the 25 km race. Later in the day there’s a 10 km, and the evening rounds out with a 5 km run. Friday afternoon also sees the 300 mile race kick off.

We recap the day’s racing with photos from the day.
