It's been 10 years since we decided a 24-hour mountain bike race in the Flathead would be a fun thing to make happen. With a collected love for mountain biking and belief in recreation for all abilities, the three of us (along with a lot of help) worked together to make 12 & 24 Hours of Flathead an annual thing for the last 10 years, minus a pesky pandemic that interrupted our run in 2020.
All told, the race has raised $20K to support our mission. All you crazy bikers helped us to fund our grant and buy adaptive bikes, skis and ATVs for local athletes who require different and more costly equipment to recreate like the rest of us.
We're really proud we were able to make a mission out of a mountain bike race and feel grateful to all of you for coming out every year to ride and donate to the cause. It's been an absolute blast but we've decided the race has run its course for now (pun intended).
24 Hours if Flathead is 501C3 and we remain committed to the cause. We haven't decided what's next but stay tuned, we're already tossing around fun ideas. Until then, we want to say a sincere thank you to our riders and sponsors -- especially Wheatons Cycle who supported us since day one, we truly could not have made the race happen without you. And to our racers, especially the loyalists who came out year after year, we are humbled you all chose to spend a summer weekend with us over the past 10 years. We appreciate all of you so much!

Until next time ✌,
Tia, Mark & Heather

A big thank you goes out to and for supporting our mission with their monetary donations! Not only does putting on a race take a lot of volunteered time, but it also takes a lot of money; from the food purchases, porta-potties, medals, swag, light tower, rental fees, insurance, etc, then after all of those necessary expenses, we still manage to have money for our Last Best Grant! Even the littlest donation amount helps!

We've never been able to have a professional photographer capture our event over the 2 day span. We've never been able to afford it. This year, we found an amazing local business who believes in our mission and is donating all of their time to capture it! We're stoked!

You can imagine that a 24 hour event can produce a lot of waste. With this local companies donation of MANY trash receptacles and containers, it really helps us in keeping our word with "leave no trace". We've been fortunate to have your donation since inception!

As a valley we're so lucky to have a local water store! The folks at PettyJohn's have been so great to us and our racers! Without their water support we'd all be very thirsty the entire time of the event ;)

We live in a great community with all of these local businesses that support us and here's another one ! If we didn't have an ATV our organizing lives would be so difficult! Their donation of an ATV not only help us with course set-up and tear down, but the ATV is how we get our course marshals to their stations so they don't have to hike when it's 90+ degrees outside!
