The Wolf Bikepacking Race!

Registration for The Wolf Bikepacking Race goes live this Saturday, May 2 at 9 AM.

We are running our long bikepacking race this year to bring back one of our favorite northern towns, Ely MN. Add this to Finland and Grand Marais and it equals one of the best bikepacking routes in Minnesota. Heck, it’s one of my favorites anywhere.

We have made some changes this year to the event distance. First, we wanted to add a little more daylight for folks needing to hustle back home after the race on Sunday. Second, it alleviates some permitting woes that challenged us in years past. But rest assured, this course will challenge and delight as always.

Event distances are as follows: Day 1: Finland to Ely 89 miles Day 2: Ely to Grand Marais 106 miles.

Day 3: Grand Marais to Finland 66 miles.

Please go to the Wolf tab on this website to learn more. Note that the minimum age this year is 18. Note that we cap the event at 75 participants.

Please email me with any questions. And no, we are not running The Fox Bikepacking Race this year.

Ride the Good Line!
