There are still more than four months to go before the 2023 Flint Hills Gravel Ride launches from Americus, however, riders and runners can now sign up for the event.
Registration opened back in mid-November and numbers are currently on par with where they were a year ago with 350 individuals signed up as of Monday. Organizer Bobby Thompson says the majority of registrations are from riders, however, they will once again be offering a series of runs with this year’s event.
Thompson says the growth of the event has been very impressive in just the last two years. The first year saw right around 250 participants and grew to 690 in 2021.
Along with the 6, 10 and 21K runs, the gravel ride will also offer biking distances of 30, 80 and 120 miles which Thompson says will be unsupported.
The Flint Hills Gravel Ride will launch from the park in Americus on Saturday, Apr. 8.
