Our Story

Cycling and disc golf have put Emporia on the map! Both are sports that many Emporians enjoy as well as thousands who flock here for the Dirty Kanza gravel race and the Glass Blown Open disc golf tournament. Emporia has the resources to make your visit a memorable adventure worth repeating.

Located on the East Central edge of the Flint Hills, there are hundreds of miles of gravel roads in all directions from Emporia for cyclists to enjoy with family and friends or to train for gravel races. If disc golf is your game, welcome to the Gravel Capital of the World! Emporia boasts five 18-hole and three 9-hole courses in town and five additional courses within 10-30 miles. They don’t call us Disc Golf Disneyland for nothing! When you're off the roads and courses and ready kick back, Emporia has over two dozen locally-grown eateries. From burgers and BBQ to Mexican and Asian to wood-fired, brick-oven pizza, there’s something to please everyone. Also, check out the 60,000 square-foot farm and home store, gourmet chocolate shop, and nightlife options including an Irish pub, an ESU-themed bar, a 6,000 square-foot country dance bar as well as a brewery, distillery, and winery. You are welcome here any time to ride, play, or just relax and enjoy!
