24 Hours of Rapelje is Montana’s original 24-hour mountain bike race, held in the small farming community of Rapelje ( räp-eĺ-jay ), approximately 75 miles northwest of Billings, Montana. This event is presented by the Stockman Cafe, which all proceeds from the race go towards keeping the volunteer-run cafe open.
For more than 10 years, mountain bike racers and enthusiasts gather together for an epic ride across 15± miles of rugged terrain, known for its washboards, rolling hills, and occasional interference from cattle that wander too close to the course.
