2026 Just A Chill Ride-50k "It's Grrr-8t!"

Just A Chill Ride-50k, nicknamed "It's Grrr-8t!", is a grassroots gravel bike race in Dwight, Kansas, held annually on the first Saturday of October. The start and finish are at The Event Center on Block 31, with on-site camping available for tents, cars, or RVs. The ride is part of the Pink Gravel calendar, which connects small gravel events across Kansas and Nebraska. Pink Gravel supports races by providing SAG stops, water, checkpoints, and ride categories. This work helps raise support for the Pink Gravel Fund, which provides grants to breast cancer patients in Kansas. Donations via the Emporia Community Foundation are tax deductible and accepted year-round.
