Expect 4,000 riders in and around Emporia within the next month as Unbound Gravel 2024 approaches.
Activities for the public are actually picking up speed now with events this week. Unbound has a special volunteer celebration from 6-8 pm at Unbound HQ, 714 Commercial. Athlete Services Manager Treva Worrell says Unbound’s success and growth the last 20 years is all about Emporia’s support.
Emporia Main Street has two “Ask Me Anything” events at Unbound HQ, one from 5:30-6:30 pm Tuesday and another Thursday morning. Community Development Coordinator Jessica Buchholz says this is timely, with some business questions about the route and other aspects of Unbound.
Races are a month away. The Unbound XL is Friday, May 31. All other race lengths will launch Saturday, June 1.
