2020 Dirty Kanza moves to September
Dirty Kanza, the world’s premier gravel grinder, has moved from May to September. Boy, those September dates are even starting to look optimistic at this point, huh.
Here’s what they say:
The entire Dirty Kanza team has been working around the clock in order to make the best and most prudent decision for all of our athletes, volunteers, sponsors, vendors and the members of the Emporia community. It is with everyone’s health and safety in mind that we are postponing the Garmin Dirty Kanza and Garmin Dirty Kanza XL presented by Salsa Cycles and moving the 2020 event to September 10th – 13th, with race day being Saturday, September 12th. It is our hope that we can all continue doing our part to “flatten the curve” and can bring you all to Emporia in the fall. We will continue to work with local and regional health officials, as we have been doing, to monitor this ongoing situation.
The decision to postpone has not been made lightly, and we understand that you will undoubtedly have questions. Below, you will find answers to anticipated questions in light of this postponement. Please take a moment to read through the following FAQ’s. Should you have any questions after reading this page, do not hesitate to reach out to us at dkinfo@lt.life. As always, we are here for you and want to make this transition as smooth as possible. We ask for your patience and grace as we all navigate these challenging times together.
We are providing all 2020 registered riders with the following 3 options from which to select:
