Ride five of the iconic Life Time gravel events on ROUVY

ROUVY has released five virtual gravel routes so you can experience riding some of the Life Time races from your own home


The Life Time gravel events have been hallmarks of the offroad scene — races like Unbound and the Sea Otter Classic are key moments in the calendar. And now you can ride the routes too, exclusively on the ROUVY indoor cycling app. With five virtual routes delivering realistic, true‑to‑life experiences, you can get a taste of the trails from the comfort of your own home. 

Big Sugar

The Life Time Big Sugar Gravel presented by Kenetik rolls into Bentonville on October 11, 2026, but if you can’t wait to experience one of the most challenging and scenic gravel races in the USA, you can test yourself on the route on ROUVY. The race takes place in Arkansas and riders travel from around the globe to tackle relentless climbs, each chasing the sweet taste of glory of the Big Sugar Gravel. 

Crusher in Tushar

The Life Time Crusher in the Tushar takes on Utah’s remote Tushar Mountains with 69 miles of gravel, dirt and pavement. Featuring 10,000 feet of climbing, the Crusher demands grit, endurance and versatility, as does its virtual route on ROUVY. Get a headstart on the route before the race on July 11, 2026.

Sea Otter Classic

Since it was first held in 1991, the Life Time Sea Otter Classic has grown into one of the world's premiere cycling festivals, attracting nearly 10,000 athletes to Monterey, California annually. Held in April, Sea Otter is seen as the season opener for many competitive gravel riders, it offers diverse events, including mountain, road and gravel races, and serves as a major industry showcase. Experience the Sea Otter route on ROUVY to get a taste of the event.

The Rad Dirt Fest

Whether you’re chasing a top position or just want to enjoy the western vibe, the Life Time Rad Dirt Fest in Trinidad, Colorado has what you’re looking for and so does ROUVY’s virtual route. You can expect views of buttery‑smooth gravel and epic climbs into the Spanish Peaks. You don’t need to wait for the real thing to get rad on the Colorado dirt.  

Unbound

Life Time UNBOUND Gravel presented by Shimano is the world’s most famous gravel cycling event. Held annually in May in Emporia, Kansas, it challenges cyclists with distances of 350, 200, 100, 50 and 25 miles across the rugged Flint Hills, and represents the pinnacle of gravel racing. And thanks to ROUVY, you can get ready for gravel’s preeminent event by riding virtual versions of official UNBOUND Gravel courses.
