While our 200 sets the stage for the big events of the weekend, the Life Time UNBOUND Gravel XL presented by Shimano offers up that solo pursuit you just may be looking for. The UNBOUND Gravel XL stands in a class of its own. This self supported journey through the Flint Hills presents an unparalleled challenge of your body, mind and spirit. If your penchant for pain is matched only by your sense of adventure you’re in good company.
Over the course of 350 miles, you’ll challenge yourself, you’ll inspire yourself, hell, you’ll downright hate yourself. But you got here for a reason and your potential knows no boundary.
Each and every person that joins us on the start line of the UNBOUND Gravel XL has a reason for being here.
What’s yours?
