About
THE 2025 LAKELANDER HAS BEEN POSTPONED
The Yellow Weather Warning which was to come into force late tomorrow afternoon has now been extended across all areas of Northern Ireland and will now run from 14:00 on Friday 3rd October to 12:00 noon on Saturday 4th October 2025. This is in the middle of our event window.
As you are all aware the event takes place on lands managed by Fermanagh & Omagh District Council and the Council are duty bound by Met Office Warnings. As a result the event licence cannot be issued for the Lakelander Gravel Grinder this weekend.
Both Fermanagh & Omagh District Council and the Lakelander Event Team place participant safety at the forefront of our planning and with the medium impact warning in place access to the forests for events is not permitted.
This will come as a major disappointment to many but as you can understand it is down to factors totally outside our control.
We are exploring a rescheduled date of 21st March 2026 and all entries will be moved to the rescheduled date.
We are as devastated as you are that the event will not be taking place this weekend.

The Lakelander Gravel Grinder is Ireland’s premier gravel cycling challenge.
Expect wilderness, remoteness and spectacular views across this virtually unexplored part of Ireland. Distance options – Big Dog 100km, Mongrel 60km or Little Dog 50km.
These events have been expertly designed by our experienced event team in order to challenge participants physically and mentally over a demanding route with stunning views across County Fermanagh and beyond. Expect tough climbs, fast sweeping downhills and rolling countryside passing loughs, stunning vistas and even a few Game of Thrones filming locations.
A tough but enjoyable day in the saddle and all in the fine company of like-minded gravel cyclists from all over Ireland and further afield.
