The magic of this race is the vibe. It’s about the encouragement from your fellow 500 riders. High fives, cheers, support from strangers, heartache, victory, and sore legs. It’s about perseverance, costumes, the music, the quiet riding at night, the beer, the party, bacon lap, the grilled cheese, the campground scene … come live the experience and become part of the history here at the Glen.
The course itself is a roughly 9.1 mile loop that winds its way around the carriage roads, doubletrack, bridges, and technical singletrack at the base of Mt. Washington. The course features challenging segments such as the infamous floating bridge over the Glen Pond.
Racers can join in any of the race categories in the 24 or 12 Hour divisions. There are NO minimum lap requirements per racer. Ride as many laps as you can in a 24 or 12 hour period.
