The Gravel Addict’s Best Friend:

The Dirty Kanza 200 is an epic gravel road race held each year in the Flint Hills region of east-central Kansas.  This area, once home to the great Kanza Nation, is one of the few remaining tracts of natural tallgrass prairie in the world.  Rugged, remote and often unforgiving, the Flint Hills have been called the eastern-most part of the great far west.  The perfect place for a self-supported, 200 mile-long gravel road bicycle marathon.  Come for the challenge.  Come back for the memories.

Dirty Kanza 200 Vision Statement:

It is our vision that The Dirty Kanza 200 will become North America’s premier annual ultra-endurance gravel road cycling challenge.

Dirty Kanza Mission Statement:

The mission of The Dirty Kanza 200 is to provide the ultra-endurance off-road cycling community with a high quality event at an exceptional value.  The event will be structured in such a way to be extremely challenging, but at the same time possible to complete.  We will strive to effectively utilize the ruggedness and remoteness of the Flint Hills region to properly challenge the self-sufficiency of event participants, while at the same time provide an appropriate level of support, to ensure an enjoyable, life-enriching cycling experience.
