Formerly known as MIVA Unpaved, which was Nanaimo's first gravel fondo, it has since be renamed and re-branded as Nanaimo Unpaved and returns as part of the Vancouver Island Gravel Series. This year we have short, medium and long route options. Nanaimo Unpaved is a mass start, timed event with categories in Open, Masters, Youth, and Vintage. Enjoy an exciting and safe day out in the backcountry with food and drink stations, first aid and other support.
