Mountains to the Desert Classic

Race Info

The Mountains to the Desert Classic (M2D) is celebrating its 23rd anniversary as the primary fundraising event for the Just For Kids Foundation!

M2D is a beloved local ride beginning in Telluride, Ridgway, or Norwood and finishing in Gateway, Colorado. Whether participants choose to ride 100 or 70 miles, they will experience the full beauty and grandeur of the Colorado landscape, as it tracks the San Miguel River and transitions from high mountains to desert terrain. From alpine glow and aspen forests to sandstone cliffs and palisades, join this iconic ride in support of our San Miguel County communities.

Let's ride! Bring your friends and family and let's celebrate! Return shuttles and more itinerary or logistical information available here.
