September 29 & 30, 2012

2012 INVITATION

At the foot of the majestic Rocky Mountains of Colorado in the evening shadow of Pikes Peak towering 14,110ft, riders from across the nation will join in an epic race against time. Join defending champions and champions of old for the best race in the west and the longest race between two places.

This is the ultimate test of mountain biking endurance. It's you, the clock, and inspiring terrain at the center of one of America's great cities on the western frontier.

Point your mountain biking compass to 24-Hours of Colorado Springs.
