Saturday, October 26, 2024 will mark the 6th annual Maple Leaf Gravel Grind. We will offer 3 separate routes, a 16, 40 and 70 mile option that will highlight the beautiful fall foliage in and around Baldwin City, KS. Each rider will receive a custom glass and t-shirt included in their entry. All races will be timed by the Timer Guys.
Proceeds will be split between Prairie Paws Animal Shelter in Ottawa, KS and the Baldwin City Recreation Commission’s scholarship fund. Ottawa Bike and Trail will once again be onsite offering light maintenance as well as swag for sale. Prairie Paws Animal Shelter will be on site with animals available for adoption, so be ready to take home your new family member!
Post race, we will offer entertainment, food and drink options as well as shaded seating to allow you to catch your breath and recover. In addition, we will have your commemorative glass ready for you at the Baldwin City Beer Co. waiting for you to fill with your favorite post-race libation, on us!
Take advantage of the Friday night packet pick up taking place form 4:00PM to 7:00PM at the Baldwin City Beer Co. (520 High St.) to avoid the lines Saturday morning. Specials will be available to Maple Leaf Gravel Grind participants, so come down, sample what’s on tap and grab some dinner Friday night!
