When the second annual USA Cycling Gravel National Championships return to Nebraska this September, the elite racers will be vying not just for the coveted title and Stars and Stripes jersey but for some cold, hard cash to boot.
Today, the National Federation announced that the elite races will have a $40,000 prize purse. While this is quite a bit less than last year's $60,000 prize purse, it is also substantially more than many of the top gravel events, like Unbound Gravel and Big Sugar, which offer no cash prize at all, or SBT GRVL with its $22,000 combined prize purse.
