The Open Range Gravel Race is an ultra-endurance bicycle race through a remote and rugged area of the state. Start time for the 200k race is 8am and there will be a 10 MPH pace cutoff. The distance for the 200k will be between 125 – 132 miles. If you don’t think you can maintain a 10 mph average, please feel free to sign up for the 100k+ or the Open Range Tour. The 100k+ starts at 8:20am.
NEW THIS YEAR: Pratt Volunteer Fire Department will handle Drop Bag and rider extraction service. If you want a drop bag delivered and returned, sign up for their service. Proceeds go to support the Pratt Volunteer Fire Department.
Sun City and Medicine Lodge will be the checkpoints for the race. Sun City is around 35 mile mark and Medicine Lodge will be around mile 80. Checkpoints will have water and light snacks. There is a drop bag service available (proceeds support Pratt Volunteer Fire) to riders. Bring your nutrition in a clearly marked bag or soft-sided cooler and we’ll move it to the checkpoint(s). Heavy duty slider zip bags with ducktape and name work great! If racing in the 200k they will take 2 bags (one for Sun City, one for Medicine Lodge- they will not move the same bag from checkpoint to checkpoint).
While we do allow transfers up to registration close, we do not allow refunds for race fee. If you think you might need a refund, we suggest the race insurance provided through BikeReg. Proceeds from Open Range go to local non-profit.
