I’m in as well. Two regular gravel training partners did not get in though.

In for the 100 this time, can't afford to lose anymore brain cells tackling the 200 again.

You’ll be fine. Really.

I’d be curious to hear the lottery “acceptance” rate vs. those that entered.

Where the hell do people stay for this event??? I just looked online and there’s nothing available except in larger communities, over an hour away (like Topeka).

I was on the same boat yesterday but managed to find a dorm room...check the info on the event website. I have no idea how good/bad it is, I guess I will find out

It’s a bed, four walls and a roof; you won’t confuse it with the Ritz Carlton.
One other tip: dining options are limited in general and finding a place to eat the night before race is a challenge. Planning ahead for meals is advisable.

The dorms include meals but who knows what the quality is like.

If I was going by myself, I'd gladly use the dorms (if available). But, if I go, my wife would go with me and I know she won't go for that. I may end up staying in Topeka as well. I think its about an hour drive?

I've gone ahead and booked a dorm room as well. My wife was a hard pass when I asked her if she wanted to come to Kansas with me.

I booked the dorm room. But I also booked a room at a hotel (used to be best western I guess) based on a tip from the unbound gravel Facebook group. That group will have stuff pop up occasionally about available rooms. So I’ll cancel one at some point

For now, I did find a Holiday Inn Express in Ottowa, KS. I think its midway between Kansas City and Emporia.
