About the Event

The DAMn Race, set for July 31st to August 1st, invites racers and their support crews to the historic Buffalo Ridge Resort for check-in from 5pm to 10pm on Friday. The race commences at midnight with a spectacular fireworks display along Gary, South Dakota's main street.
Riders will navigate a challenging yet breathtaking 240-mile gravel course through Minnesota over the next 24 hours. This endurance test requires careful planning and support management; racers are permitted to utilize their own crews but can only receive assistance three times during the race. Unofficial support points, such as gas stations and local farmers, will be available for those needing a boost.
To claim victory, participants must reach Hager City, Wisconsin within 24 hours from the midnight start. The DAMn Race challenges both seasoned cyclists and newcomers with its rigorous terrain and unforgiving time limit. Are you ready to test your limits?
Registration opens on January 3rd, 2025, at 8am Central Time. For more details, visit www.the-damn.com. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity; the race promises a memorable experience filled with scenic landscapes and intense competition.
For those looking to prepare, training jerseys can be purchased from the Borah Team Store. This year's event marks its return after a hiatus in 2028, making it even more special for enthusiasts who have been eagerly awaiting this challenge.
Embrace the thrill of The DAMn Race – where dedication meets determination on one of America’s most scenic routes!
