Don't let the grind get you down! Saturday, October 25th, 2025, marks the 7th annual Maple Leaf Gravel Grind. We offer 3 separate routes (16, 40, and 70 mile options) that highlight the beautiful fall foliage in and around Baldwin City, KS. Each rider registered in time receives a t-shirt, goody bag, and commemorative item. All races are timed by the Timer Guys, and top three male and female finishers in the 70-mile race earn a cash prize.
Proceeds are split between Prairie Paws Animal Shelter in Ottawa, KS, and the Baldwin City Recreation Commission's scholarship fund, which provides opportunities for families in our community who may have difficulty paying for programs for their children. Prairie Paws Animal Shelter will be on site with animals available for adoption as well.
Want an even smoother start to your race? Take advantage of our Friday evening packet pickup, taking place from 4:00PM-7:00PM at Baldwin City Beer Company. Not only will you avoid the lines Saturday morning, but you'll have a chance to try BCBC's specials, just for Gravel Grind participants!
