Do these count?
I wonder if that is part of the upcoming 3-Volcanos 300k in August. Certainly not a MTB ride, but I've been warned about the 15 - 20 miles of gravel over the course of the nearly 195 total miles. The warnings I've been given are along the lines of "get whatever the fattest tire you can get on your bike" and "I won't ride it on anything less than 38's".
If most of that road/trail is like the picture, then a stout pair of 35 or 38mm tires and some careful handling should do the trick. I hope that is part of the course, because from that picture it looks beautiful.
