Black Hills Expedition

A 440-mile Bikepacking Race through the Black Hills of South Dakota

A 460-mile Bikepacking Race through the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming

Much like the CTR, the AZT, and the Tour Divide, the Black Hills Expedition is a self-supported, self-timed ITT (Individual Time Trial) bikepacking race. We provide a route description and GPX file, a suggested start time, and a list of results. There is no registration, no entry fee, and no support.

You are on your own. Enjoy it.
