Organiser's Description
A race with presidential views! You're going to love this course with gorgeous views of Mt. Rushmore and the surrounding Black Hills! The hill climbing on this course is no joke, but the payoff is incredible. Are you up for the challenge?
The Black Hills feel like a hidden world — granite pillars rising from dense forest, ridgelines rolling beneath an endless sky. Iron Mountain Road winds through it in quiet reveals: a curve, a clearing, a sudden sweep of hills.
The climbs heighten your senses, each bend promising a bigger view — until Mount Rushmore appears, perfectly framed in stone and sky. A hidden gem made unforgettable.
