Yuri Hauswald, a gravel standout with multiple Unbound 200 finishes and a second place at the inaugural 350-mile DKXL, is returning from retirement for a seventh Unbound 200 appearance. He is partnering with GU Energy’s charitable arm, GU Gives, for a challenge called Chase the Race. On May 30, he will begin the 200-mile race in the last starting position and focus on overtaking as many riders as possible. Each rider passed generates donation matches, with a field of over 1,500 athletes. The effort targets $50,000 to support construction of a bike skills park and safe access infrastructure in Emporia, Kansas, and Hauswald has pledged additional support toward the goal.
"On Saturday, May 30, Hauswald will begin the 200-mile race in the last starting position, with a goal to overtake as many riders in the field as possible, generating donation matches for each rider passed throughout the race. With a field of over 1,500 athletes, every rider passed fuels something bigger - giving back to the local community and supporting the next generation of health and wellness in Emporia, KS, with the construction of a bike skills park in the hometown of Unbound Gravel."
"The end goal to raise $50,000 in charitable donations will aid in the construction of the bike skills park and provide safe access infrastructure to the park via a protected mixed-use path, originating in the town of Emporia. With support from the Joining other donors through the Hauswald, a former youth educator, has previously pioneered projects that raise awareness and funds to support the upcoming generation, centered around cycling as the conduit for positive impact, and has pledged $1,000 to the donation goal in addition to his upcoming effort at Unbound Gravel."
