Life Time UNBOUND Gravel Crowns Finishers after a Record-Breaking Day in the Flint Hills
The nation’s premier healthy lifestyle brand and producer of nearly 30 iconic athletic events, made history in the Flint Hills last weekend at the 2025 Life Time UNBOUND Gravel presented by Shimano
With participants ranging in age from 1 to 92, Life Time welcomed over 5,000 riders from all 50 U.S. states, 2 territories, and 47 countries to Emporia – the largest event start line to date.
In addition to record-setting participation, new course record times were set in the XL (350-mile), 200 and 100 mile races.
The 350-mile XL event, in its fifth edition, had records set in both the men’s and women’s races, setting a new bar for endurance and performance in one of the longest gravel races in the world. Rob Britton crossed the line in an incredible time of 17:49:51 which was 2:15:45 faster than the previous best. Heather Jackson beat the previous women’s record by 1:27:18, finishing in a total time of 20:57:57.
Not only did the XL race break speed records, but the endurance epic saw its youngest rider to ever complete the 350 miles. At just 21 years old, Izabella Slosberg of San Luis Obispo, California, crossed the finish line in 27:39:11.
The marquee 200-mile race also saw new north course records for both the men’s and women’s events. Karolina Migon set a new women’s record with an unprecedented pace of 20.12mph. Cameron Jones also set a new men’s record with an average pace of 23.49mph.
Just like the 200-mile event, the 100-mile race saw new north course records for both male and female categories. Tiffany Cromwell set the new women’s record with a swift average speed of 21.76mph. Clocking an average speed of 23.23mph, Hayden Christian crossed the line first in the men’s race.
This year’s event marked a major milestone in gender representation, with a 44% increase in total female participants year over year. With 25% of the 2025 field being female, UNBOUND Gravel continues to foster inclusivity in the gravel cycling community.
“Life Time UNBOUND Gravel is a beacon for the gravel community and this year we were able to bring it directly into fan’s homes with nearly seven hours of live coverage of the elite 200-mile race,” said Michelle Duffy, Vice President of Marketing for Life Time Events. “Across the board, 2025 set a new standard and we can’t wait to welcome the world back to Emporia for the 20th edition next year.”
In addition to the XL, 200 and 100-mile races, cyclists of all ages and experience levels lined up on Saturday morning for 50 and 25-mile events, united by a shared spirit of adventure and endurance.
Top finishers across the events are included below. The full race results are available here.
