Hippo Bike Trail 2025 is a self-supported bikepacking challenge designed for the most adventurous gravel riders. Taking place on April 12, 2025, in Treviso, Italy, this 210 km trail features 4500 meters of elevation gain and must be completed within 19 hours. Riders will face a demanding mix of terrain, including 85% gravel, hike-a-bike sections, river crossings, remote mountain stretches, and technical descents—ensuring a true test of endurance and skill. The unsupported format means participants must rely solely on their own navigation, equipment, and resource management, making it a perfect proving ground for long-distance trail riding. The loop course starts and finishes at Habitat le Bandie, guiding riders through the stunning landscapes of the Alta Marca region, where solitude and raw nature define the experience. With only 100 available spots, the event offers an exclusive challenge for seasoned riders looking to push their limits. Those who successfully finish within the 19-hour cutoff can consider themselves ready for even longer bikepacking adventures. Hippo Bike Trail 2025 is not just a ride—it’s a gravel endurance journey like no other!
