Ahoy, Maties! Are you ready for some Nebraska Gravel Goodness?! Then look no further! The 2023 Garmin Gravel Worlds will satisfy your gravel grinder itch.
We set sail on the first voyages on Friday August 25, 2022 with the Land Ho 50 km, 25km, and 10km runs and the Long Voyage 300 mile event. The other voyages will set sail on Saturday August 26, 2022 from Lincoln, Nebraska. This is our fourteenth year and we're excited to have you in Lincoln for some of the best grassroots gravel racing in the country. We have a fun and challenging course designed for 2022 with some familiar roads from years past as well as some newly-discovered sections never ventured on before. There are four distances to choose from for 2022 along with the three run distances in the Land Ho series . Gravel Worlds at 150 miles (6 AM start), Privateer Gravel Grinder p/b Cycle Works at 75 miles (7 AM start) and the Buccaneer p/b Chamois Butt'r at 50 km (8 AM start). Land Ho p/b Fleet Feet 50k starts at 5:30AM, 25k starts at 6:30AM, and 10k starts at 5:30PM on Friday.
Garmin Gravel Worlds p/b Lauf is the officially unofficial Gravel World Championship. The winner of each category of the Gravel Worlds (150 miler) will have the honor of slipping on a Gravel World Champion jersey! All finishers who complete the entire 150 miles will also receive a unique finisher item. Overall Podiums (Men, Women, Non-binary, Para-Man and Para-Woman) will go five deep for men and women and 3 deep for NB and Para categories, category podiums go three deep and podium finishers will receive trophies. The overall top female, male and non-binary finishers will also be recognized as the Captains of the Gravel Seas for 2022. Yes, there will be swords for the Captains!
The Privateer Gravel Grinder p/b Cycle Works also is back again for 2022 with additional categories! Privateer Riders will travel many of the same roads as the Gravel Worlds event. Expect a challenging 75 miles with lots of rollers. Top female and male riders in each category will receive trophies.
Also back again is the Buccaneer p/b Panaracer is a 50 km event for those that want to get their feet wet. This is a non-competitive event and will stay close to the Fallbrook Neighborhood with some rollers and one stop along the route.
The Long Voyage 300 p/b Goodr is back again for 2022 with a fun and challenging 300 mile journey. We will be using TrackLeaders for tracking and all participants are REQUIRED to have GPS tracking for the event. You must provide your own GPS tracking device or rent one from TrackLeaders. There is also a separate fee from TrackLeaders to be added to their tracking service.

Checkpoints will provide water and very basic nutrition, but everything else must be brought with you. No handouts. No team vehicles on course. No hornswaggling (cheating) allowed!
