Road Apple Rally

October 1 & 2, 2021

Held annually since 1981, the Road Apple Rally is America’s longest continuously running mountain bike race! This single-track course includes 5, 15 and 30-mile loops in the Glade Run Recreation Area and is a fun and fast race for mountain bikers of all levels. The Rally got its name from early riders dodging “road apples” left behind by horses who also used the trail.

The early October season in the Four Corners region of New Mexico is well known for its beautiful clear skies and perfect fall temperatures, making it an ideal getaway for avid cyclers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The 2021 race is slated to take place Saturday, October 2. The Road Apple Rally will feature competitive and recreational bike races, live music, food and an interactive sponsor village with entertainment and activities for everyone.
