For over 30 years, the Graand Kinetic Challenge has enjoyed the privilege of making the Benton County Fairgrounds our home base for staging our event and providing safe, secure accommodations for our racers and their respective entourages. The longstanding agreements and arrangements that have made all of that possible have evolved over time, but were recently stretched beyond their sustainable limits. With heavy hearts, the GKC board has chosen to cut ties with the fairgrounds and seek another venue. It is unfortunate that we reached this breaking point with too little time left to adjust and deliver a safe, quality GKC event in 2023, but we are moving forward with characteristic kinetic energy. We are confident that we will return in 2024 with a re-imagined GKC that meets and exceeds the high standard created and sustained by those who've made it all happen for all these years, FOR THE GLORY, and FOR THE FUN OF IT!

ONWARD!
