Cycling Events in Kansas
Kansas is where gravel racing grew up. The Flint Hills roll out a sea of tallgrass prairie cut by chunky limestone roads, and riding across that emptiness under a huge sky is a genuinely moving thing.
It is harder than flat-state stereotypes suggest. The rock is sharp on tires, the hills never stop rolling, and the wind can pin you for hours. Respect it and it’ll be a day you remember.

How we build these listings: Event counts, dates, and fees are computed from live registration listings (synced nationally from the RunSignup/BikeSignup platform), deduplicated and filtered to cycling disciplines. We list what is verifiably open for registration — not every ride that exists. Last updated July 19, 2026.
