Head out on the Royal Gorge Trails with Trailforks or STRAVA and earn your badges! Join the challenge for free or register online to earn a commemorative t-shirt and swag bag. The challenge opens on September 1st and ends on October 31st.
YOU MUST REGISTER BY OCTOBER 15TH TO EARN SWAG AND GET A RAD T-SHIRT OR HOODIE. The jewel of the Royal Gorge Region’s trail system – the Royal Gorge Trails – is a stunning system of singletrack trail. Trails range from green to black and flowy to technical. While the Royal 50 / Gorgeous 25 Mountain Bike Races will not be held in-person this year, you can now challenge yourself to complete 50 or 25 miles on this incredible terrain. With a significant amount of elevation gain, you’ll have the opportunity to climb through the hills surrounding the north rim of the famed Royal Gorge over the Arkansas River. Catch views (and your breath) along 20 available miles of unique singletrack. Create your own route, ride laps on your favorite trails, or check out our website at royal50.com for suggested routes. |
How do I participate?
Get out and ride 25 or 50 miles! The digital Trailforks badges are available for free. Anyone can participate! If you'd like to support FAR, earn sweet swag (including a commemorative tee), and see yourself listed as a participant on the official event leaderboard, you'll need to register via the event registration page. The cost is $45 for your first event and $25 for every additional category. There are 4 adult categories and one youth (12 and under) category. Do I have to use Trailforks and / or Strava? In order to track your mileage and start / finish dates, you'll need to use a tracking app. We recommend Trailforks or STRAVA. Trailforks is free to use in your home area and has the added bonus of being a great method of finding and navigating new trails. For just $20 per year, you can upgrade to the 'pro' version and have the ability to see and track rides across the globe. If you'd rather use Strava, you can use the free version to upload the challenge results. Strava will sync your rides to Trailforks automatically by changing the settings. |
