Held annually since 1981, the Road Apple Rally is America’s longest continuously running mountain bike race! This single-track course includes 15 and 30-mile loops in the Glade Run Recreation Area and is a fun and fast race for mountain bikers of all levels. The Rally got its name from early riders dodging “road apples” left behind by horses who also used the trail.

The early October season in the Four Corners region of New Mexico is well known for its beautiful clear skies and perfect fall temperatures, making it an ideal getaway for avid cyclers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.  Join us for a weekend of fun! Events kick off in Downtown Farmington on Friday, October 4th and Saturday, October 5th is race day!

The Road Apple Rally MTB Race takes place in the BLM Glade Run Recreation Area, featuring 19,000 acres of slick rock, rolling terrain, and sandy arroyos. There are two course options: the 30-mile Long Course and the 15-mile Short Course.  Both courses start and finish at Lions Wilderness Park off of College Boulevard in Farmington.

30-Mile Pro/Expert Course
The Pro/Expert Course starts off with a 1.5-mile stretch of pavement followed by 2 miles of dirt double-track.  From there it's mostly rolling singletrack, with a few sections of pavement at Light Plant Road, Foothills Drive, and Hood Mesa Road.  The last 7 miles are almost all descent which makes for a fast, flowy finish!
