By [Invented Reporter] | LINCOLN, NE – 2025/08/22 07:50:48
The Lauf Gravel Worlds event is set to feature a star-studded lineup of gravel cycling professionals. Here’s a preview of the competition and viewing details.
The Nebraska-based Lauf Gravel Worlds returns on August 22-23, 2025, with a record-setting $100,000 prize pool. This substantial purse – the largest for a single-day gravel race – has made the LINCOLN event a key competition for elite cyclists. The winners in both the men’s and women’s categories will each receive $17,500, with prize money awarded to the top ten finishers.
The notable increase in prize money, up from $30,000 in 2024, is supported by Goodlife Brands, a Nebraska-based sponsor as 2021. Organizers have confirmed that the increased payouts will not affect entry fees for amateur participants and will not compromise the event’s community-focused ethos. Furthermore, the event will match the prize money with $100,000 in donations to local charities and nonprofits.
Notable competitors include Simen Nordahl Svendsen and lauren Stephens,the reigning men’s and women’s champions from the 2024 Lauf Gravel Worlds. This year’s race is anticipated to feature the most competitive field to date. The shift of SBT GRVL to June has eliminated scheduling conflicts that previously prevented many European riders from participating. Additionally, the race offers points in the Gravel Earth Series, attracting top international competitors to LINCOLN. Keep an eye on American cyclists like John Borstelmann, who will be competing on familiar terrain, as well as European contenders such as Morgan Aguirre, the current series leader, all vying for a major U.S. gravel title.
A comprehensive race preview is available here,including the elite start lists for both men and women,along with details on how to watch the Gravel Worlds event,which will be streamed live.
