Gravel Worlds: Winter Endurance
Winter Endurance is a winter gravel event in Lincoln, Nebraska with activities on February 20, 2027. The event offers bike and run options on rural, often snow‑covered roads and expects winter weather conditions. Participants should prepare for cold, snow, wind, or sun; average highs are about 41°F and record lows have reached -7°F.
Distances offered:
- Bike: 100k, 50k, 25k
- Run: 10k
The event is truly self supported. No outside support or promoter on-course support is allowed. There are no aid stations on the 10k gravel run. The only refuel on course is a gas station checkpoint; riders must obtain a Powerball lotto ticket at the halfway gas station to prove they reached halfway and should bring cash. Tickets are turned in at the finish; if a ticket wins the organizers will donate 10% and split the remainder among participants who show up on race day.
Organizers hold the right to shorten distances for participant safety and enforce a safety cutoff for all events. Winter Endurance follows Gravel Worlds' event rules. Check-in and event hubs include Goodlife Cyclery in Lincoln and Junto Wine in Seward; Junto Wine hosts post‑race music and drinks for those who remain after finishing.
The event name references the ship Endurance and the 1915 Antarctic expedition; the wreck was located in March 2022. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
