Gravel Race
Gravel racing is the fastest-growing segment of cycling (+25% annual growth), blending road fitness with off-road adventure. Races range from local 50-mile events to the legendary Unbound Gravel 200 (200 miles across the Kansas Flint Hills). The format rewards endurance and bike-handling over pure power, and the community-first culture makes it welcoming for riders over 50. A drop-bar bike with wide tyres is all you need to start.
