Get ready for a legendary mountain biking experience at this iconic event that's been thrilling riders since 1981—making it the nation's longest-running continuous MTB race! You'll tackle your choice of 30, 15, or 4.5-mile routes through the beautiful Glade Run Recreation Area near Farmington, New Mexico, with options perfect for every skill level. The fun kicks off on October 4th at Lions Wilderness Park, with pre-race festivities downtown the evening before—and yes, the quirky name comes from the horse "road apples" early riders had to dodge on the trails!
