Life Time Announces 2025 UNBOUND Gravel Qualifying Events

Five events provide gravel cyclists the chance to qualify for the iconic race if they missed the lottery

Life Time Announces 2025 UNBOUND Gravel Qualifying Events

Following last week’s announcement of lottery winners for the 2025 Life Time UNBOUND Gravel presented by Shimano, Life Time, the nation’s premier healthy lifestyle brand and owner/producer of nearly 30 athletic events, has announced five gravel races that will serve as qualifying events for the ‘World’s Premier Gravel Event.’

With this, cyclists will have additional chances to secure their way to Emporia if they missed out on a lottery spot.

2025 Life Time UNBOUND Gravel Qualifying Events

- April 11, 2025: Life Time Sea Otter Classic Gravel (90 mile) in Monterey, California
- July 12, 2025: Life Time Crusher in the Tushar (70 mile) in Beaver, Utah
- August 10, 2025: Heathland Gravel (100 mile) in Lindburg, Belgium
- September 27, 2025: Life Time Rad Dirt Fest (70 mile and 110 mile) in Trinidad, Colorado
- October 18, 2025: Life Time Big Sugar Gravel (100 mile) in Bentonville, Arkansas

Each event will have at least 50 qualifying spots available. Half will go to the top riders in each category, while the other half will be awarded based on random draw of eligible participants. Winners will receive guaranteed entry to the subsequent Life Time UNBOUND Gravel, or one year after that.

Registration for the Life Time Sea Otter Classic is currently open with the others opening in early 2025.

“As the demand for Life Time UNBOUND Gravel continues to rise, we’re excited to introduce new opportunities for athletes to secure their place at this world-renowned gravel cycling experience,” said Michelle Duffy, Senior Marketing Director for Life Time Athletic Events. “Heathland Gravel and the Life Time Rad Dirt Fest were the first to serve as qualifiers in 2024, but this expanded lineup will broaden the chances for entry. We’re looking forward to the unmatched energy and competition that make race week in Emporia, Kansas so special.”

Athletes seeking advance training in the Flint Hills and a guaranteed spot on the starting line can register for the UNBOUND Gravel Training Camp presented by Shimano. Participation in the April 3-6, 2025, training camp includes automatic race entry. Registration is limited and now open.

Additionally, charity spots through the Life Time Foundation are another way cyclists can secure a spot at the 2025 UNBOUND Gravel. Registration to become a LTF athlete is limited and now open.
