Nighthawk Gravel

Just 79 Miles from Emporia and 51 miles from Lawrence, KS, nestled on a magical wooded property is a gravel adventure calling you!

In a rustic vineyard with friendly faces, music and bonfires you'll start your endurance ride of 25, 50 or 100k through rolling farmland, historic villages and along one of the areas most beautiful nature preserves (Marais de Cygnes). It's a test of endurance and technical skill supported by a few rest stops and ride marshals. 

All are welcome here - gravel racers, mountain bikers, tandems and e-bikes - juniors and seasoned cyclists who love the community and connection of the sport. Let's celebrate together, doing what we love during the most scenic time of year mother nature has to offer.
