About the Event

Conquer the legendary, rolling "Gravel Seas" of Nebraska at Lauf Gravel Worlds, the ultimate self-supported gravel cycling and running festival in Lincoln, Nebraska, from August 19-23, 2026. This is the premier event where riders and runners from around the globe test their mettle on the iconic rural farm roads of Southeast Nebraska. Choose your epic challenge: the flagship 150-mile World Championship race with over 10,000 feet of climbing, a formidable 300-mile ultra, or a 75-mile grinder—all offering the raw, grassroots adventure that defines the sport. For the first time, the weekend expands with a full Gravel Triathlon and a Run Series with distances up to 50K, ensuring an unparalleled test for every endurance athlete. With its unique pirate spirit, rule of "BE COOL!", and trophies including the coveted Captain's Sword, it’s more than a race—it's a pilgrimage for the gravel community. Registration is now open for five days of pure, unfiltered adventure where every mile forges a legend.
