Unbound Gravel 2025 delivered on every front... Grueling miles which caused carnage in both the men's and women's fields, unforgettable stories of perseverance, and a showcase of endurance like no other. GOODLIFE Nutrition was proud to be in the thick of it, both at the expo and out on course with our athletes pushing the limits.
Fueling the Field at the Expo
We had an incredible time connecting with the endurance community at the Unbound All Things Gravel Expo. Riders from around the world stopped by to sample our Carbs and Electrolytes, and we loved hearing how much you appreciated clean, effective fuel that goes down easy and powers you through the long haul. Whether prepping for 25 or 350 miles, our booth buzzed with energy, good conversation, and plenty of hydration.
Our Cheer Poster Station was a hit and we will be sure to bring that in expos to come.
Joe Goettl Battles Through to a 48th Place Finish
Joe Goettl turned in a gritty performance, securing 48th place despite a mid-race mechanical that forced a front wheel change at Checkpoint Two. Even with the setback, Joe managed to shave time off his 2024 result, proving that consistency, resilience, and smart fueling pay off. Check out his full race coverage of this epic event:
Drew Dillman Charges to 35th
Drew Dillman had a phenomenal ride, climbing into the top 35 and knocking 45 minutes off his previous time. This was a breakthrough performance, and we couldn't be more proud to support Drew as he continues to elevate year over year. His Unbound recap video shows just how deep he dug and how much ground he gained.
Tough Day for Emma Grant and Chase Wark
Not every race goes according to plan. Both Emma Grant and Chase Wark made the hard call to DNF, joining a long list of riders who felt the brutal sting of the Flint Hills this year. While the result wasn’t what they hoped for, we're proud of their courage, effort, and the energy they brought to the weekend. Check out Chase Wark's recap here:
More Than a Race
Unbound is about more than the finish line. It’s about pushing yourself, testing your limits, and showing up with a strong mindset and solid fueling plan. We’re proud that GOODLIFE Nutrition was part of that journey for so many riders this year.
We are counting down the days until we get to be back in the Flint Hills of Kansas, supporting athletes as they live their GOODLIFE.
