Steve Tilford Foundation Epic

The Steve Tilford Foundation Epic is a gravel cycling event based in Lawrence, Kansas, created to honor the legacy of Steve Tilford while supporting the next generation of cyclists.

Riders can choose from multiple route options that showcase the rolling gravel roads, scenic countryside, and challenging terrain of eastern Kansas. Whether you're chasing a personal best, preparing for a major gravel event, or simply looking for a great day on the bike, the STF Epic offers a welcoming and well-supported experience for riders of all abilities.

Proceeds from the event support the Steve Tilford Foundation's youth development initiatives, including Let's Ride!, a program that provides bicycles, helmets, and cycling education to children in Title I schools. By participating, riders help expand access to cycling while celebrating the adventurous spirit and community-focused values that Steve Tilford embodied throughout his life.

The event features aid stations, post-race food, awards, and a strong community atmosphere. Join us for a day of gravel riding that gives back to the sport and helps create new opportunities for future generations of cyclists.
