"Urbduro 2024: What to Expect from This Bigger, Weirder, and Potentially More Confusing Event" - REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

What:

On September 7th of 2024, Urbduro returns.

• Urbduro is a mysterious all-day urban adventure competition that is performed on a bicycle. Sort of like an "Alleycat" race, but much larger (and it's not a race...).

• The theme for this year's event is "puzzle".
  

• The title of this year's Urbduro is Proclamacioñ Misteriosa. We have no further comment on this matter (see point 2 below).

• This year participants can compete individually or in teams.

• Urbduro 2024 is different in every way than the 2023 edition.

• Urbduro is $25 for the entry fee this year, and includes a delicious meal at the awards party, at the conclusion of the event (vegan, vegetarian, and GF options will all be provided).

• Our man Jay Michael, the owner of the mighty Ionic Sound System - is putting the party in the afterparty.

Why:

1. The idea is to first and foremost to have fun on your bike, but also compete to win some stunning prizes from our sponsors!

2. We keep the event details under tight wraps until the day of the event, because we really like to surprise people.

3. Community building within the cyclist community is important to us, and we hope that by holding this event we foster growth in our cycling community; by new creating new connections and strengthening existing ones.

When:

• September 7th, 2024. Noon. Please arrive at least 30 minutes early to sign the waiver and stage at the starting location.
