The 2026 Brevet Season

Posted on by

The 2026 Brevet season is almost here! By the time you eat your turkey and unstuff your stocking, it’ll be too late to dust off the bike and prepare to ride! So, get on the stick and get ready for these exciting events!

This upcoming year is a special one in the randonneuring world. It’s the year before Paris-Brest-Paris, which will be held for the 21st time in August 2027. It’s not only a time to train and work out fitness/comfort/nutrition issues in advance of the Big Dance, but it’s also the year in which the registration priority for PBP is determined. Historically, everyone who has qualified for PBP has been able to ride it, but registrations take place in the order of the longest event completed in the year before PBP. That’s 2026. Those completing 1200/1000km brevets this season register first, followed by those whose longest brevet is 600km, etc. So if PBP is on your radar, the more (and longer) brevets you do in 2026, the better off you’ll be in terms of being ready and locking in your place.

Registrations and information for all brevets are linked above and also under the Events tab.
