| 200 MILES OF GRAVEL HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS EXCITING OR CHALLENGING! |
|
The Dirty Kanza 200 is the hidden gem of endurance races in the US. It’s 200 miles of hilly gravel roads in the Flint Hills regions of Kansas, and if you think Kansas is flat and barren you are sorely mistaken. This race is beautiful, remote, and incredibly difficult.
You will ride for miles without seeing another person – and even further without seeing a car or a source of water and food. The weather could be beautiful, or you could get caught in one of Kansas’ famous thunderstorms (remember Dorothy and Toto?).
The winners in Kanza finish in 12 hours. Some people take up to 17 hours to reach the finish line. You have to carry lights so you can navigate your way to the finish after dark. And you’ll only know the route by the maps you pick up at each aid station. The challenge of Dirty Kanza is measured on a totally different scale from 24 Hour racing, 100-mile mountain bike racing, or even randonée or brevet competitions.
