“Total adult summer camp vibe, but way better! Traveled to the event solo but never felt alone.”
“The Spirit World is in a class by itself. It is a gathering of people who love bikes and people. Every single person at the event was absolutely, simply goodness!”
“Felt like a small community of friends who happen to ride 100 miles of gravel. The vibe was amazing!”
“It reminds me of local grassroots MTB races when I was a child, but with a completely different race experience from anything I've ever done. It is simply the coolest event.”

Why is it called The Spirit World?
The Spirit World is a shared space for all to enter, where you can feel the magic of adventure and its impact on your mind, body, and soul.
But you can only arrive there when you break through physically tough moments.
We have believed in this space for some time, as we've fallen in love with big days outside, and letting the southern Arizona landscape define parts of our beings. It's an honor to offer a weekend event centered around the mystical, the magical, and the very transformative space and time to enter on your own accord.
You're invited to open your mind, free your soul, and let it fly.
On October 25th, 2025, you’ll experience this transformation while riding your gravel bike across the San Rafael Valley. When it happens, you truly do enter an altered state, further describing why we’ve named this event after this sought after destination in pursuit of endurance.
This event is less about racing, and way more about camaraderie and sharing in each other's journeys throughout the weekend. Let the land, the animals, the winds, and the silence of this high desert be your guide, as we ride all day and dance the night away.
