Suzuki 24 Hours of Moab, Oct. 11th – 12th, Behind the Rocks Moab, UT

News Source: O2 Sports Media
Columbus Day weekend, October 11th and 12th, Behind the Rocks Moab will be transformed into something truly extra-terrestrial when the world's top mountain bike ultra-endurance racers gather to determine who is the fastest of them all.This year a sci-fi theme is featured: racers are encouraged to bring their individuality, sense of humour, and ray gun—if they have one.

Think about the theme for your campsite and spend a few extra days riding the Slick Rock trail or other routes, in one of cycling's most extraordinary destinations.


The inventiveness of campsites and variations on the theme of cycling make the Suzuki 24 Hours of Moab the Burning Man of bicycling.

2,000 mountain bikers will journey on the epic 15-mile course carved out of the cryptobiotic soil.

Whether a solo racing machine pushing his/her body to the outer limits, a bike-jousting mechanic attending just for fun, or a parent showing their kids a truly memorable weekend full of cycling excitement, 24 Hours of Moab will deliver.


Space invader or not, this event is much more than a determination of the fastest competitors in endurance racing, it is a weekend of revelry in the fun, fitness, environment, and inventiveness of mountain biking.
