RIDE IRONHORSE

The Ride to Defeat ALS: Iron Horse Trail is a one-day gravel ride event designed to appeal to anyone who wants to challenge ALS and themselves! We offer a 70-mile route (metric century PLUS) that is an out-and-back starting and ending at the Dru Bru in Cle Elum. We also offer a mostly downhill 35-mile route which starts at the Dru Bru in Snoqualmie Pass and ends in Cle Elum. If you want you can do something in-between if you start in Cle Elum and turn around whenever you feel ready! We also have the option for guests to attend and purchase a meal and drinks at the finish line festival hosted by Dru Bru in Cle Elum!

Every participant can count on support from start to finish with rest stops, and route monitors. Upon completing your ride or walk, you will be welcomed back by a cheering crowd and finish line festivities that include live entertainment, a delicious lunch, and more.

Location: Dru Bru, Cle Elum

Fundraising Minimum
All riders 18 and older are required to raise a minimum of $180 in donations, in addition to their registration fee, by the day of the event (August 3, 2024).
