For the last half-century, the Iron Horse has become one of the premier bicycle events in the West. Durango is centrally located between Denver, Albuquerque, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City.

Now, riders travel to the Iron Horse from every state and several foreign countries. Each year, thousands of riders experience the thrill of descending into Silverton with hopes of beating the train. And whatever the results, simply finishing this classic ride is an accomplishment that keeps people coming back year after year to one of the best rides around.

Growth of the Iron Horse
Throughout the years, several events have been added to the traditional ride to Silverton. We now host Quarter Horse and Pedal Assist Quarter Horse rides to Purgatory, the Mountain Bike Race, the Kids Race, the BMX Straight Rhythm, and the La Strada La Plata Gravel Ride. We have events for professional racers and everyday enthusiasts. Memorial Day weekend in Durango is always full of cycling events and festivities. In 2018, we welcomed more than 3800 participants across all events, and we’re constantly evolving to welcome new styles of riding.

Come ride with us, and take part in this inclusive and exciting adventure we call the Iron Horse!
