50
Saturday, May 30th, 2026
You don’t have to ride 200 miles to experience the world-class gravel that the Flint Hills have to offer. Challenge yourself to 50 scenic miles along the prairies, grasslands and rolling hills outside of Emporia. This distance packs all the beauty of the longer races into a more condensed route that will leave you feeling tall and proud as you cross the finish line.
Super family-friendly, we encourage you to bring the whole crew!
