What began as a brotherly challenge in 1971, the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic soon became a legendary event when Tom Mayer, an avid cyclist, daringly raced and defeated the from Durango to Silverton.

This feat not only surprised his brother Jim, but also ignited an annual race that has captivated thousands. Today, the Classic includes various races, such as the Quarter Horse, which concludes here at Purgatory.

Unlike the full Iron Horse race, which covers a grueling 50-mile route with roughly 6,000 feet of climbing, the Quarter Horse offers a shorter, yet still challenging, 25-mile course.

Congratulations racers! What a day!
