Karolina Migoń | Unbound 2025, Pas Racing & Upcoming Schedule

Karo Migoń is a Polish gravel racer who just made history by winning the 2025 Unbound Gravel 200 in a record-setting time of 10:03:54 — averaging over 20 mph across 202 miles of brutally hot, dusty Kansas terrain. Her ride wasn’t just a win; it was a defining performance in one of the toughest and most prestigious gravel races in the world.In this episode, we talk about Karo’s journey from racing mountain bikes and road bikes during her university years in Poland to becoming a dominant force on the international gravel racing scene. We discuss how she balances life as a full-time software engineer, why she took a five-month leave to go all-in on racing, and her experience riding with Pas Normal Studios, where having a team behind her has been game-changing.We also dive into themes of burnout, training with intention, upcoming travel, and the small rituals that keep her grounded while living the highs and lows of a pro racing season.One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation is the joy and love for cycling that Karo radiates—it’s contagious, and it makes following her journey even more exciting.Follow Karo on Instagram: @karo_migonAnd keep up with Wander for more updates as she continues her 2025 season.
