How we make money

The Gravel Stash is free, and we want to keep it that way. Here's exactly how it pays for itself.

Affiliate links

Some links on race pages, like the "Gear up" picks and the "Where to stay" map, can be affiliate links. If you buy gear or book a room through one, we may earn a small commission. You don't pay anything extra. Some outbound links to stores may also be turned into affiliate links automatically by a partner service.

We only list gear we'd actually ride. Gear picks come from our sister site, The Gear Stash. A brand can't pay to be a gear pick.

Featured listings and sponsors

Race organizers can pay for a featured listing, and brands can sponsor the newsletter. Paid placements are always labeled "Featured" or "Sponsor." Paying never changes a race's dates, status or registration info. Details for organizers.

What we don't do

We don't sell your email address. Race dates and alerts are free and always will be.
