Pony Express 120 Gravel Dash - 2026 Lucky 13 Edition Event Details Date: 2026-09-12 Location: 700 Broadway St, Marysville, KS Event URL: http://www.BikeReg.com/ponyexpress120graveldash Race Description Our goal for the Pony Express 120 Gravel Dash is to provide the Gravel Grinder community with a challenging ride and an opportunity to explore some of the history of the great mid-west. Modeled after other great gravel rides/races in this area, this event is for the self-sufficient minded cyclist who enjoys being pushed to their limits. At times this is a remote area but with enough towns along the way to resupply with support crew locations. Experience the rich history of North Eastern Kansas by riding 120 miles of gravel through the same territory and small towns as the Pony Express riders did over 160 years ago. There will also be 65 mile & 35 mile routes for those who wish to ride a shorter distance. Historic Trails Significance: This area was the intersection of 8 historic trails. Trails: The Pony Express, Oregon, California, Mormon, Otoe-Missouri Trails, Fort Leavenworth Military Road, St. Joseph Road, and the Overland Stage Coach. Markers: Along the way you will cross paths with stone markers and old structures. Exploration: Discover gone but not forgotten towns, campsites and school districts.
