Lauf Cycles partners with Discover Gravel to bring to you the ALL NEW for 2026 "Just Ride" Challenges!!
The Just Ride Challenges provide a new way to challenge yourself throughout the GPGC 2026 Season! We will have TWO new season long point accumulation podiums!
The KOM/QOM podium! Pretty self explanatory. The race director of each event will designate one climb as the GPGC KOM/QOM Points Climb.
The Directors Choice! Is what it is. Example: Be rdy for the dirt at Flint Hills Gravel. Be rdy for the chunk at Rock Ridge. Look for the cattle trail at Open Range. Be ready!
Points differ a little from the regular Series in that only the Top 20 receive points. You either get points or you don't. All events count. Pure total points calculation. If you're on the distance, the Strava segment is on, you count. The segments will always be on the "main race" distance. Rides MUST be uploaded to Strava by midnight of race day to count. No exceptions.
