The dirt, the dust, the adrenaline, and the sheer madness of pushing pedals through the night—it can only mean one thing: 24 Hours of Riverside is back! Spokane’s most legendary mountain bike event returns to Riverside State Park on Memorial Day weekend, May 24-25, 2025, bringing together solo crushers, hardcore teams, and weekend warriors for an unforgettable ride.
If you’ve never raced the 24 Hours of Riverside, imagine this: a festival-meets-endurance-race vibe with an ever-changing mix of singletrack, fire roads, and fast-flowing descents. By day, the course is a dirt playground of speed and strategy; by night, it transforms into a surreal blur of glowing lights and hushed focus.
Riders can take on the challenge solo or form teams of two, four, five, or even ten to share the effort and fun. Each lap is approximately 13 miles, winding through the scenic beauty of Riverside State Park with plenty of punchy climbs, fast descents, and flowy singletrack sections. Whether you show up to compete for a podium spot, outlast the darkness, or just soak in the camaraderie (and maybe a few beers at camp), this race is about more than miles—it’s an unforgettable experience you and your biking pals will think back on often. Despite the party atmosphere, the event is incredibly family-friendly with kids and families pedaling around the park all weekend and there’s even a kids’ bike parade on Saturday night!
Registration for the 2025 race is now open at 24HoursofRiverside.com with early bird pricing available through March 31. Spots fill fast, so don’t wait to secure your place in Spokane’s wildest ride!
