Now in its 20th year, Unbound Gravel offers five race distances from 25 to 350 miles and brings around 5,000 athletes to Kansas’ Flint Hills, including pro gravel racers and WorldTour riders.
The 200-mile event is the flagship event and the most hotly contested. Last year, the men’s event was won by Cameron Jones and the women’s event by Karolina Migoń. Both will defend their titles in 2026.
Extended highlights of the men’s and women’s races will be published on the YouTube channel within days of the event concluding.
Since riders on the 350-mile Unbound XL course are required to carry a satellite tracker, there's also the option to dot watch the longer event via this link. Unbound XL starts at 4pm CST on Friday 29 May.
