The Area
Located in the Chihuahuan desert, Marfa is a small town within a large and unique landscape. The ride takes you out and back on a beautiful, low-traffic road which cuts through rolling ranch land, offering views of the Chinati Mountains in the distance and cactus, wildflowers and high-plains grassland in the foreground. The town of Marfa is unique, bringing together local ranchers with a high-profile art scene that attracts international tourists. From art, to landscape, to delicious food, there is something for everyone to enjoy in Marfa.
October, is a pleasant autumn month in Marfa, with average temperature varying between 53°F and 73°F.
The nights can get very cold here so plan accordingly!
The Race
Riders will race to complete a 100km (~62miles) out-and-back on beautiful Ranch Road 2810. With around 3000’ feet of elevation gain this race is as challenging as it is beautiful. The race is electronically timed and aid stations are every 10 miles.
The 50k fun-ride is back this year for those who want to enjoy the scenery without completing the full distance. We will again be allowing e-bikes on the 50k fun-ride.
