Our Story
Open Range was created in 2017 while deployed overseas in a sandy area. I wanted to provide an opportunity for riders to see a unique area and give back to a community that helped develop who I am. 2018 was the first year for the race and it has only grown in popularity.

Open Range starts in Pratt, Kansas. Home of the Miss Kansas Pageant, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, and the famous "Hot & Cold" water towers. The Open Range course takes riders through the High Plains and ruggedly beautiful Gypsum Hills of South-Central Kansas.
