Let's go play on the gravel roads in the Flint Hills of Kansas! 120-130 miles. Cue sheets ONLY!! The route will not be handed out. No GPS coordinates will be given out. You show up race day morning and are given cue sheets to the first PitStop. You will then received cue sheets to the next PitStop and so on. PitStops will have water and supplementary nutrition. Plan and PACK accordingly. Longest stretch between PitStops will be 50 miles. Anything and everything goes on the roads BUT the point is to show off the Flint Hills...not make it so hard you can't Finish. Mile for mile, The Challenge is a tougher ride than The Adventure. Be ready to enjoy the views of The Flint Hiils.
