Below are the dates of the seven BWRs for 2023, all of which are included in the omnium for the Quadrupel Crown of Gravel Series:

Riders competing for the Quadrupel honors and prize purse will be scored based on the total points of their top four (Quad) races. All Quad contenders must compete in BWR CA, which is being contested in San Marcos, CA, April 14 - 16, 2023. Registration for these new events will open on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. PST.
It will be interesting to follow the BWR in 2023, as the brand continues to expand in multiple countries. Most notable is the last stop of the season in Queretaro, Mexico, in an area called the Infierno Del Sur. Each course will almost certainly involve a multitude of technically challenging sectors. Waffle courses will range in length from 110- to 144-miles, and Wafer courses between 65- and 85-miles. Elevation gain will range from 6,500 feet to 14,000 feet for the various Waffle courses.
