About the event

Race the Rails - 2025
The steam locomotive and the bicycle were invented nearly 10 years apart. Both changed the way we travel, but which will prevail on September 6th at the 9th Annual Race the Rails?!

At the sound of the train whistle, mountain and road bikers race to see who can get back to the depot before the train.

Mountain bikers and gravel grinders test their speed and agility on a challenging 10-mile course through the beautiful mountains surrounding Ely. Road bikers prove their speed and endurance on a 25-mile course along roads and highway sin the area. Everyone who finishes the course will receive a finishers medal.

This is not a regular race against time, or your fellow riders. It’s a race against one of history’s most powerful inventions! It’s a Race the Rails – 2025!

Registration for the Race the Rails Coming Soon!

Ely is a remote mountain town of 4,000 where history, art, and outdoor adventure run deep. In the nearby Great Basin National Park, travelers have the chance to descend into the depths of the Lehman Cave system to explore a series of limestone and marble caverns full of huge stalagmites and other wild rock formations. The park is also home to the snow-capped Wheeler Peak which, at 13,000 feet, is the second-tallest mountain in Nevada.
