Motomarathon

Motomarathon The art of motorcycle endurance sport-touring… In May of 2020, Motomarathon veteran and Motor Officer, John Bossolt, took over the reins.

In 1986, a small group of Colorado motorcyclists tried to ride as many mountain passes as they could over a long weekend. Since then, “compressing as many passes as possible into the classic four-day motorcycle sport-touring getaway became an obsession,” said Founder John Metzger, of Boulder, who organized annual Pass Rides until 2020. Routes are designed by local experts--"Routemasters"-- and kep

t secret until the evening before each day's ride. Riders are assigned badge numbers and riders are required to photograph designated landmarks with their badge number to show to Motomarathon officials at the end of each day. There is a final check-in time each day, usually 8pm, that riders need to finish the route to avoid a "DNF" for the day. The Motomarathon Association was formed in 2009. The state-of-the-art machines for this kind of technical, mountain riding are BMW GS, Ducati’s Multistrada, Suzuki VStrom, Triumph Tigers and others, but all bikes are welcome and routes are all on paved roads with the occasional dirt road routes included as options.

Good morning. We are very happy to report that we have quite a few new riders who have signed up for this year’s event in August. If you have never attended a Moto and are considering it, here are a few rules/guidelines to keep in mind. Regardless of state law, you MUST wear a helmet during each days ride. No consumption of alcohol or recreational drugs before or during each days ride. No riders, specifically operators, under the age of 21, and no passengers under the age of 18. Your bike must be registered and insured following your home state’s laws. Each day will range between 300 & 400 miles. Day's 1 & 2 we are riding to different hotels, which makes it nearly impossible to cut a day short. Day's 3 & 4 we will be riding out of The Birches, so taking a day off or cutting a day short will be an option for you if you are not up for a full day. We take safety very seriously and do everything to make these events as safe as possible. Some of these rules are also mandated by our insurance carrier. Please reach out if you have any additional questions.
