The Iron Horse Bicycle Classic isn’t just a race — it’s a legendary Colorado tradition and one of the most iconic cycling events in the country. Every year, thousands of cyclists and spectators gather in Durango, Colorado on Memorial Weekend to witness an unforgettable test of endurance, grit, and speed as riders race the historic narrow gauge steam train all the way to Silverton.
Since 1971, this one-of-a-kind event has challenged cyclists to conquer the breathtaking — and demanding — Durango to Silverton highway, climbing two 10,000' passes through the heart of the San Juan Mountains. - Learn About the Event History
