Following our sixth Gravel Ride & Race Bern on October 21, 2023, we conducted a survey among all participants in the Gravel Ride and Gravel Race. We were delighted with the extremely high number of responses. Thanks to the feedbacks we received, the Gravel Ride & Race Bern 2024 will be even better!
727 participants took part in the extensive online survey about our event. With 318 responses, we achieved the fantastic figure of 43%, which is extremely representative feedback for us. We would like to thank you very much for this!
Our most important positive findings:
- 90% of participants were very satisfied with the overall organization
- 89% of participants rated the course as very good and gave it a grade of 5 or 6 (grading scale 1 – 6).
- The cheerful and motivating mood and atmosphere at the event were just as important as the sporting challenge.
- Around two thirds felt that the route safety and markings were perfect. Just under a third thought this area was great, but noted that there were still some dangerous situations.
The assessment was negative:
- Almost 50% of participants were stuck in traffic jams at least three times during the race.
- The culinary offer was highly appreciated. Nevertheless, there were long waiting times
We are making every effort to take on board and improve the feedback we receive. We are currently looking for solutions to reduce bottlenecks and congestion on the route. There will be adjustments to the route in certain places. We are taking this issue seriously and are doing our best!
We will also change the supporting program a bit according to your wishes – especially the big prize draw will take place in a different form and we are also trying to expand and enlarge the Streetfoodfestival! We are happy to receive your tips for good street food providers in the Bern area (info@ridegravel.ch)!
Registration platform opens in a few days!
